I installed MS Office 2003 on my laptop (Vista) and installs and runs fine except that it keeps asking me whether I accept the EULA. Everytime I start up Word, Excel, etc it asks me and no matter how many times I accept and restart it asks me again.

Any ideas?
 
Google is your friend

On a side note, I got bored accepting MS's XP EULA, so edited it when I slipstreamed sp2 into my XP disk (not too sure of the legality of this...), but whenever I have to reinstall, I now have to agree to:

"Tacos are tasty treats"

[Cancel] [I Agree]

:D
 
Well as the EULA states that you are not allowed to edit or change it then you are indeed breaking the license by playing around with that.

When you said you were "fed-up" accepting Microsoft EULA's - You still have to click "Agree" as you did when it was the Microsoft EULA that was being displayed during installation, so you've not actually saved yourself any time.

Actually, I was bored of accepting Microsoft's EULA... which I have clicked yes to more times than I can remember. I find it much more amusing when I have to accept that tacos are tasty treats - it doesn't save me any time whatsoever - and I wasted approx 2 minutes of my time doing it in the first place (time saving wasn't the point of the exercise though)... It does, however, raise a smile every time I see it - and that was worth 2 minutes of my time!

An absolutely pointless exercise, but you need a smile raised if you're reinstalling I suppose.

I tried various methods that I found on google and none took. Instead I went into the registry and changed the permissions on the section where it checks acceptance - have had no problems since... sadly no tacos either :'(
