Thread: Upgrading Openoffice

I have been using Openoffice 2.2 for a little while and recently it warned me that an update was available. I duly downloaded Openoffice 2.3 and tried to run the upgrade. The installation seemed to work until it said 'Some files that need to be updated are currently in use. Openoffice Org 2.2 (process ID:- 3476)'. I have tried rebooting but the only thing that happens is that the number after 'process ID' changes.have tried rebooting but the only thing that happens is that the number after 'process ID' changes.

The problem here is that Openoffice has a small program that runs in the Notification Area. It is used to reduce the time that Openoffice programs take to start. It can also be used to create new documents. It must be closed before the upgrade process can complete Look for a black icon in the Notification Area with two small birds in it. Right-click this and select Exit Quickstarter Run the installation program again to upgrade Openoffice.
