Stop the Microsoft Office licence agreement appearing
Q I have just installed Office 2003 Professional on my Vista laptop. Everything seems fine except that every time one of the programs such as Word or Excel starts up it asks me to accept the licence agreement. Is there a way to stop this appearing every time? It didn't happen on Office 2000.

A This can happen if you are starting Office as a Limited User without having ever run it as an Administrator.
Clicking on Agree should make a change to the Registry to record your agreement, but Limited Users are not allowed to edit the Registry.
One solution is to log on to the computer as an Administrator user, start Office and agree to the licence, but there's an easier way.
Click on the Start button, type Word and then right-click on the Word icon. Left-click on Run as Administrator.
Click on Continue or enter your password when the User Account Control window appears. Agree to the licence agreement, quit Word and then start it again normally.
