| | End-User License Agreement I just bought a new laptop with Vista Ultimate. I then installed MS Office 2003 on the new computer. However, whenever I want to open an MS Office program I get a message that says "you must accept the End-User License to use this software. If you don't accept, this application will quit". When I "accept" the program runs fine. I never had this experience with this same software on my XP computers. Is this something new with Vista and can the message be removed? Any help will be appreciated. Sidney |

| | Re: End-User License Agreement Being a new Laptop, did this MS Office come pre-installed as an offer by any chance ? If it did, it's a trial version, say for 3 months, and they will bug you until you buy. My advice, uninstall it all, and use your own software. I'm finding MS to be very intrusive more & more.

| | Re: End-User License Agreement I bought MS Office to use on my XP OS Laptop. Now that I have a Vista Laptop also I installed the very same program on the new machine. This is NOT a trial software but bought for $$. I uninstalled the Office 2007 software that came with the laptop, also uninstalled Office 3003 and then reinstalled it. Any ideas??
