EULA pops up when opening office document

[Guest]

Suddenly an end-user has to accept the MS Office EULA
everytime she opens an office document. Any ideas on why
this is happening and what to do about it?

Log on as Administrator and accept the EULA

Thank you for another excellent response! Worked perfectly!

Nice try, but I really do not believe this is the
solution. Let me explain ....

I have a networked PC shared by 4 people, all are Domain
Users. One of the 3 has to accept the EULA each time an
Office application is opened (twice for Outlook as Word
is the default text processor). Domain Users are members
of the 'User' group and do not have Administrator
privelages.

Why does one user have a problem and not the others?

This will happen when certain office updates take affect.
I found this problem on Win2Kpro boxes when a user does
not have admin rights. Since I'm no foolish enough to
give a user who can barely log on admin rights, I logged
in as the admin, ran regedt32 and when to
HKLM>Software>Microsoft>Office. Hightlight Office and
click the Security>Permissions selection. Give full
control right to whoever you deem worthy. I gave it to
local users.

Next time they get the EULA, they accept it one time and
they will not see it again.

Hope this helps.
