Try openoffice.org (about 100MB download).
It's free, MS Office compatible and there is also a Polish version.

If you need just word then try much smaller AbiWord.
It also support Polish language.

Unfortunately I haven't been able to successfuly download either z_darius....I downloaded the first but couldn't open it. Is there any on line Polish Word Processors ? If I can't do my essay (about myself) I am ineligible for the exam!

I downloaded the first but couldn't open it

weird, what do you mean? the file was corrupt (download error)? or your download was OK, but you failed to install Open Office correctly?

ok, so I must ask how good you are with computers? do you do most things by yourself (installing/uninstalling programs, maintenance, getting rid of viruses/spyware, modifying registry settings etc.) - or do you usually or always need someone to help you when there's a problem with the computer?

@Lukasz,

that's what I was thinking too. There may be also an issue of the connection quality and speed.

After over 100 installation in the last few years I never had an issue with OO installation or download.

I'm not an expert but I cam usually download easily...but significant problems....yes I struggle with unexpected problems

A better computer brain than me would probably overcome such problems

so you say you downloaded the first (Open Office) and can't open it, do you mean
a/ you can't install the downloaded 100MB file at all?
b/ or did you start installation and something went wrong?

if a/ then probably the installation file is currupt (something went wrong during the download), try to download again
if b/ then try to uninstall it and install again.

(it's recommened to re-start your computer after each installation or uninstallation)
