Titlebar has "non-commercial use"

[Captain Fox]

I recently noticed that the titlebar for several of my Office 2007 apps
(e.g., Word, Outlook, Excel) now say "non-commercial use" after the name of
the application.

ex. Document1 - Microsoft Word non-commercial use

I am running a valid (purchased) copy of Office Ultimate 2007 so there
should be no licensing issues. I also have Windows Vista Ultimate.

The issue just started recently, but not sure when. Has anyone else
experienced this problem. FYI, I located these strings in the registry and
deleted them, but Office adds them back when launching the app. What is going
on and how can I fix this issue?

Thanks...Randy

Is it an Academic version?

Hi Randy,

Do you see the message when you start Word in Office safe mode (hold down the control key when starting Word)? If not then I'd
suspect an Add-in that may be putting that in play.

Hey Guys,

Thanks for the replies. First off, I have full version and not academic one.

As for Safe Mode, when I start Word in Safe Mode, the titlebar says:

Microsoft Word (Safe Mode)

So it appears it may be an add-in causing it. I will look into that and
report.

OK, I just tried disabling all macros and add-ins via Trust Center dialog and
restarted (after also deleting reg entry), but the problem still occurs. So
while Safe Mode appears to fix the problem, the issue may not be due to
macros or add-ins.
