Annoying Message "Geeky42" <jim_luper[ at ]cox.net> 4/16/2007 4:41:33 PM After installing Office 2003 on my new Vista Home Premium machine, I get this annoying message upon opening any Office application: Microsoft End User License Agreement - and one must accept EVERY time an app is opened! What needs to be changed to stop this annoying dialog? TIA Jimmy-Rhea Luper

Re: Annoying Message Tim Feld 4/17/2007 3:34:01 PM Peter - your comment below is a little misleading when you read the KB link you provided. Yes, you must accept the EULA when you run Office...but only for the first time after installation. The KB article goes on to explain what to do if you are constantly asked to agree to it every time you open an Office application. Being constantly asked is not normal. The KB link as well as Gyorgy's reply provide the fix for Geeky42's problem.

Re: Annoying Message "Geeky42" <jim_luper[ at ]cox.net> 4/18/2007 6:54:36 AM I thank you all for your prompt replies. I tried the 'run as administrator' suggestion, but found the pronlem did not go away. My solution was to get that complete installation of Office 2003 OFF this new machine (sorry - I just gave up.) I need to get used to using the software provided with it. Also, my old main machine is still here chugging along happily with the same Office 2003 Pro software. I remember with sadness back when one could install MS Office on one machine in a home net using the /A switch, accessing the apps from anywhere in the local net. The changes in the 2003 version, i.e., removing this capability from the pro version, forced me to change everything. We have a 4-machine system (the wife prefers her MAC notebook, I use a cludgy Gateway laptop) and the two desktops sit largely used only for serving and storage. Being retired, We seldom use the memory-hungry CAD and DataBase software that used to be the core of our buisness use. I have backup capability thru a large USB drive. J-RL3
