Hi,
I am trying to open a spreadsheet downloaded from a website. It is genuine and trustworthy. It gives me error as below when I try to open it.
"OpenOffice requires a a Java runtime environment (JRE) to perform this task. Please install a JRE and restart OpenOffice"
The same spreadsheet opens well on another PC on which I have MS Office.
Please help me to resolve it.

It does not specify any specific JRE. Otherwise I already have java running on this PC.John_Ha wrote:Read the error message and do what it says!bhargav27 wrote:"OpenOffice requires a a Java runtime environment (JRE) to perform this task. Please install a JRE and restart OpenOffice"

Re: Does not allow to open a spreadsheet
OpenOffice is a 32 bit application so needs a 32 bit Java installed and then selected in /Tools /Options /OpenOffice : Java. Such a 32 bit Java can sit alongside any 64 bit Java already installed.
