Vista - eula loads at every office startup

OK I give up. Everytime I start an office 2003 program the accept the eula
screen opens and I have to accept or decline the eula. I finally got my email
working in outlook and my office updates to work, all my settings moved
across and the program seems really stable but I cant get the eula screen to
quite popping up when I open an office 2003 app. It is registered and I am
tired of hitting the I ACCEPT button. Any Ideas. TIA. Don.

You must accept the Office End User License Agreement
every time that you start an Office program

Did you even read the link Carey posted?

Carey did not say:

"You must accept the Office End User License Agreement
every time that you start an Office program"

That is the name/description of the kb article.

Read it.

Yes and starting office "Run as an administrator" also fixed it. Oddly the
permissions that were set should have worked in anycase as to who I am,
however, I strongly suspect that this is a virtualstore registry issue.

As well as this "feature", settings, toolbars, Favourite folders in outlook
all fail to "stick" and it has taken me a while to get my Dart .NET tools to
work, - yes ignore the supplied shortcuts find the Exe file and run it as
administrator. This is wonderful news.

Oddly have not had the problem on all boxes.

Hello Carey. I am concerned as an unsophisticated user that the article you
mentioned appears to be for XP and I do not want to do anything that will
possibly screw up my new computer with Vista after all the trouble to reload
everything, as well as finding out that there are still a number of programs
that are not Vista supported as of yet including printer drivers. If I do
the registry mod as stated in the article is this ok for Vista (I have Home
Premium)? Thanks for your help and reply. Mark Purvis
