Need Computer Advice - Word & Vista

[Tidybuoy]

For some reason, after installing Microsoft Office 2003 on my friends new Vista computer...everytime we access Word or Excel or Outlook, the computer prompts to accept the license agreement (Every Single Time).

Is there a setting that needs to be checked that will eliminate this annoying step. We've accepted hundreds of times now & enough is enough.

Thanks.

Did you activate it?

It should ask you to activate the software when you first open it. Just inputting the reg info doesn't work.

Unfortunately, I don't know. My friend did the install. However, to my knowledge, you have to install the key code at the very beginning to begin.

Now, when you open the program, it asked if you accept the license agreement. We click yes and the program works fine - until the next time you use it. Then, it pops up the same license agreement question.

Is there a way to activate the program from this point or should I uninstall and start over?

Thanks

It's on the "help" menu in any of the office products. "activate products"

You may need to run the program as administrator or log in as administrator and try starting the program. On software install with Vista admin mode is recommended. Program updates are best done logged in as administrator as well.
