I re-installed Office 2003 after upgrading from XP to Vista and each time I start one of the aps Outlook, Excel or Word I have to accept the End User License Agreement again. Not a big problem but annoying enough. Anyone run into the same problem or have a solution?
Thanks
 
Log on as administrator and accept the message and it won't ask you again ( this has been fixed in Office 2007)
 
Thanks for the replies. I logged on as administrator but
I still get the messages and on the other hand I don't
think I want to change the registry. I'll see if I can find another solution or I'll just live with it.
Thanks,\.
 
An option you might want to try is to right click the icon and elevate the program by running as administrator. This will allow the program to make registry changes.
 
Thanks for the tip! It did the trick and I am a little more savy now.
 
Your Outlook E-mails might be saved in the Administrators User Folder (and other office programs that are run elevated may save to here too), just something to bear in mind.
 
You should know that Vista comes with an email program called Windows Mail that is better than Outlook Express, yet simpler to use than Outlook. I use it and I like it. Haven't had any problems.
