Program Compatibility Assistant won't go away

[macnab]

PCA decided that OpenOffice didn't install correctly. (It did.) Now every time I use OO, PCA pops. It does not help to say "Don't show again."
Where do I find the flag that says OO needs to be checked?

One of Brinks excellent Tutorials should help ...

As you have Windows 7 Pro either option should work ...

Saw that, thanks. But I don't want to disable it completely, I just want to stop it from offering to help with OO Calc and Write. I offers to help every time I open and close them, even though I tell it everything is fine, and don't tell me about this program again.

Well you could Disable the Service again that is not what you are after ... And could cause some Issues ...


Not sure if there is any other way ...

So basically you are saying, if I want PCA for the future, I must put up with it popping up 20 times a day, whenever I close Calc, for the rest of my life?

If there is another way so sorry I do not know of it ... Do not even think if you Re-installed the program that would help or even if it did could happen again in the future ...

I'll try re-installing. It looked as though it failed to install, but it didn't.

Worth a shot any how ...
