How to Download

1. How do I download my program?

Downloading a program from Uberdownloads is really easy. Start your download by clicking on the download link located on the top center of the product page.

2. How can you give out software for free?

Uberdownloads is able to offer free software because we are advertiser supported. During installation of your software, we will show you ads from our advertisers. Think of these ads as TV commercials. These ads simply give advertisers a chance to present their products. There is no obligation to accept any offers at all. You can click “Decline” at the bottom of the page if you are not interested in an ad. You can skip all of the ads and still download your program.

However, if you are interested in a advertiser’s product, then simply click “Accept” to download the program.

3. Is this spyware? Is this a virus?

Absolutely not! All advertiser offers have been tested spyware/virus free.

4. I’ve finished downloading the file. What now?

1) Run the application’s installer by clicking “RUN”, or double clicking on the file you just downloaded.

The application’s installer will start up. The installer is designed to make downloading and installing your application quick and easy. This screen will show you the program you are installing. Click “Accept” to download your program.

2) Accept or Decline Advertiser Offers

As you run the installer, you will see one or more of our advertisers’ offers. Click “Accept” if you are interested in the offer or simply click “Decline” if you are not.

3) Finish the Installation

You’re finished! Your program will download to your computer and the installer will alert you when the installation is finished. Look on your desktop and in your start menu for your new program.

5. I accepted the download and the installer disappeared!

Don’t worry, the installer has just minimized while it is installing. This way you can use your computer for other things while you wait for the installation to finish. You should see an icon in your system tray that tells you that the installer is working. When the installation is finished, the installer will open your program for you.

6. My installation finished but I can’t find my program! Where did it go?

There are three ways for you to find your program after installation. The installer will open the folder where you installed your program, an icon for your new program will appear on your desktop, and an icon will appear in your start menu.

    I have tried to download the software Open Office Calc 3 times. Each time the installer goes through the entire download process and then it just disappears and the product is not on my computer. There is no icon on my desktop or under All Programs in the Start Menu. I have even looked in the Add/Remove programs window and the software has not been installed. Why can’t I load this software onto my computer? Is there another way that I can try?

  35. Roto, on July 20th, 2010 at 8:46 pm said:

    @ Maureen
    After you finish downloading, you need to wait a while for the program to be installed into your computer. So it just minimizes into the system tray to get out of your way while it’s installing. You can just leave your computer for a few minutes depending on your internet connection speed. When you come back, the program should be finished downloading and installed into your computer.

  36. Fish, on July 20th, 2010 at 10:38 pm said:

    @Maureen
    The installer might not create a desktop icon also. You can look in your start menu for it or go into your Program Files folder located in My Computer and search for your downloaded thingy there.

    I wanted to download microsoft word 2007 and I thought this was the right site. I waited like an hour for it to download and nothing happened so where is the shit that I tried to download anyway? I’m just a dumbass that can’t read simple directions. Apparently the setup auto installs and downloads the products. You just need to sit back and wait a few minutes.

  44. Renai, on July 30th, 2010 at 5:19 pm said:

    OpenOffice is a pretty big file. You will need to wait for the setup that auto downloads and installs to finish. If you did that, then try to look in your My Programs folder in the C drive in my computer. Look for Open Office in there. If it isn’t there, then you didn’t finish installing the program and would need to wait.

  47. Renai, on July 30th, 2010 at 10:39 pm said:

    I think that if it is required, it’ll auto download for you.

    If not, then go here to download it:

    Thanks

  49. Renai, on August 3rd, 2010 at 5:24 pm said:

    @rebecca

    You can right click your document and go to “Open With” and open it with Open Office. If you can’t find open office, then you didn’t finish downloading/installing it. If you want a shortcut to OpenOffice, then go into your “My Programs” folder and find OpenOffice and right click the executable and make a shortcut to the desktop.

    ive downloaded open office but its no where to be found and it says it has finished downloading/installing can anyone help?

  51. Renai, on August 3rd, 2010 at 11:03 pm said:

    @Joe

    If it finished downloading and installing, then you can search for it in the “My Programs” folder. If it isn’t there, then you didn’t finish installing it.
    If you are computer illiterate, then go to the start menu search and search for “office” and it should appear along with the directory.

    I’ve written 8 books on Open Office Writer. But several times I’ve had to download again because error message says that there’s a ‘bin’ problem. Why does this keep happening, I can’t afford to lose this work. Also what is it compatable with!

  56. Renai, on August 10th, 2010 at 10:06 pm said:

    @rovisa

    The profile for your OpenOffice might be corrupt. Follow these steps to try to fix it: 1. Close OpenOffice and the Quickstarter if it is activated. 2. Make sure you can view hidden folders and files. 3. change the name of your old profile so you can keep a backup. 4. restart OpenOffice and create a new profile. Do not import your old profile.

  57. Renai, on August 10th, 2010 at 10:07 pm said:

    Assuming you are using Windows, the directory for your user folder should be in: C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\OpenOffice.org\3\user\ . Or: C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\OpenOffice.org\3\user
