Windows Vista Biz: Windows Office 2003 End-User License Agreement Keep Popping Up Even After selecting 'Accepted'

CAUSE
This behavior occurs if your user account does not have
permissions to modify the Microsoft Windows Registry.

RESOLUTION
To resolve this behavior, follow these steps:
1.Log on to the computer by using a user account that
has administrative credentials. In some cases, you
will have to log-in as Administrator.
2.Start an Office program, such as Word. The End User
License Agreement dialog box appears.

Note:For Windows Vista, click Start, click All Programs,
click Microsoft Office, right-click an Office program,
click Run as administrator, and then click Continue.

3. Click I Accept.
4. Exit the Office program that you just started.
5. Log-in to your profile and re-launch Microsoft
Office. The license agreement profile will not
launch again.

Note:
By default, the Administrator account is disable if you
have given a user with Administrator rights. I will post
in my next blog on how to enable this.
