How do I Stop end user licence agreement pop up

Just got new PC & Vista and every time I open an office application the
microsoft end user licence agreement pops up - very annoying.

Go to Control Panel --> User Accounts and turn-off User Account Control.
Restart your computer, start an Office program, accept the EULA, restart an
Office program to make sure EULA doesn't pop-up, go back to User Accounts
and turn User Account Control on, then restart your computer once again.

Here you go

Why this problem suddenly started wherein we are using this product for many
days/years ie. Office XP, but now for 2-3 days back it started to POP this
message.

Like many others, I recently bought a new PC with Vista and installed myself Office 2003. Kept getting a pop up asking me to accept the MS end user licence agreement for the MS office app (such as excel, word etc) which drove me nuts.

searched around and came across various posts. Given my home PC account had me set up as an administrator, many of the threads i came across pointed me to the MS webiste on what to do which didnt work.

ultimately i found this to work for my computer, whether this works for you, and the extent to which you try this is all at your own risk:

go to C:program files\microsoft office\OFFICE11 then select one of the MS apps such as Excel or Word and right click to run as administrator. this will open the app and the EULA pop up screen - accept it. exit the app then re-access an MS app - annoying pop up should be gone. hope this helps

I have Windows 7 Candidate release. Chaging the registry key to allow full
access to computer/users did not fix the problem for me. My user has
administrator privledges anyway. Still hoping for a solution.

This worked great for me as well on my Win7 PC. It was one of the simplest fixes to follow.

Tried the 'SS' fix "go to C:program files\microsoft office\OFFICE11 then select one of the MS apps such as Excel or Word and right click to run as administrator. this will open the app and the EULA pop up screen - accept it. exit the app then re-access an MS app - annoying pop up should be gone. hope this helps".
Running 64bit Vista Home Premium and it worked a treat - thanks for the tip.

Great tip, SS!!!

I followed SS's advice, and I was immediately able to get rid of the annoying EULA pop up. Thank you for the valuable advice, worked like a charm!
