I just recently installed Office 2003 into my new laptop with Vista O/S.
Everytime I open Microsoft Word or Excel worksheet the EULA window keeps
poping up. I already registered & activated the Office 2003 program. How do
I remove this End User License Agreement pop up window?

Thanks!

Log in as administrator and accept the EULA.

If you have Windows XP, then log in to Windows as Administrator, start
an Office program, accept the EULA, close the Office program, log out of
Windows as Administrator, and log back in to Windows using your normal
user profile.

If you have Windows Vista, then right-click on an Office program
shortcut, choose to run the Office program as Administrator, accept the
EULA, close the Office program, and then start the Office program normally.

If the previous suggestion doesn't help, then see
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=884202 "You must accept the Office
End User License Agreement every time that you start an Office program".

Thanks! I had to go to support.microsoft.com and follow the instructions to
remove the EULA. I did tried your method but it didn't work. Thanks again!

THANK YOU SOOOOOO much! I was going insane that I would have to click this
about 100 times a day!

Try this way...

Just go first in the computer management of Windows Vista and enable the
default Administrator account. By default the Administrator account was
disabled.

Then use the user account "Administrator" after you enable the user account.
Then try to open any MSoffice program and check if any EULA pop-up when
opening the program.

If no EULA appear during the startup of Msoffice program try to use the
original user account and check if the EULA still appear when you open any
MsOffice program.

Thanks,
Erwin

I have ET88's same problem and the solution you offer has me a bit confused.
I am the only account and it says "administrator" under my name. Shall I
create another administrator account?

It's driving me crazy, too!

Thanks,

LW

You need to run the application as administrator. This is nothing to do with
your account. See

Wow, who knew? Thanks SO MUCH - I think it's worked! Don't know what will
happen the next time I log on, but for now the popups have stopped.

I appreciate your reply on this somewhat stale chain - it obviously
continues to be a problem for the uninitiated.

Just got Vista and have this EULA pop-up probelm. Have tried to follow your
suggestions here and also through the suggested support.microsoft page but
when I right click the Office program short-cut, no 'run as administrator'
option appears. Am I missing something? Thanks

Thank you for the tip. I just found where the setting is in Windows 7 and it
worked! Appreciate your help.

I'm having the same problem, and I've read all these posts, and tried to find
the suggestion to implement. However, I'm running Windows 7 and I can't find
in Word how to "run as adminstrator."

Is it in a different place on Windows 7? (I have a 64-bit system that came
with Vista.)
