EULA will not go away

[Tikka]

I am using Vista (SP1) plus all the updates and Office 2003 (small business)
SP3 and all latest updates. I have just undertaken a complete system
reinstallation (HD reformatted) on the PC getting rid if all the garbage that
had accumulated over the years.

I activated Vista and Office in the normal way – no problems, but now every
time open up an office product I get the EULA coming up saying I must accept
it again. I checked the activation and it shows that I am activated.

This is not life threatening, but is getting annoying –anybody got any ideas?

Log on as administrator, start an Office app and accept the EULA. Then close
and log back on with your profile.

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 for the quick help - I had to modify the regedit, but the instruction
were clear and precise - everything is now working correctly

In Windows 7 you will need to boot to Safe Mode and then follow what garfield-n-odie
