Office 2003 and Vista - End-User License Agreement Problem

C

Copecabra

I'm running Office Professional with Vista Home Premium. Every time I start
an Office application, the End-User License Agreement (EULA) window pops up.
After having accepted the agreement a few hundred times now, it's getting OLD!

I am the only user of my PC and I am Administrator, so when I installed
Office I must have been logged in as Administrator. I also tried editing the
Registry and changing the user Permissions to Full Control, re-started Word
(for example), accepted the EULA (per MS KnowledgeBase item # 884202) and
STILL the EULA window keeps popping up.

Does anyone have a fix? I'm about ready to pay MS $49 to tell me how to fix
their software bugs. Thanks a lot!

Go to Control Panel --> User Accounts and turn-off User Account Control.
Restart your computer, start an Office program, accept the EULA, restart an
Office program to make sure EULA doesn't pop-up, go back to User Accounts
and turn User Account Control on, then restart your computer once again.

I installed Office 2003 professional. Since then every time I execute
Word I get the user control and have to click continue which is a
little time consuming but really just aggravating.

This was not happening with Office XP. I have Vista.

Can you help?

Many thanks.
