Office 2003 Prompts for Agreement Every Time I start an Office App

I installed Office 2003 after installing Vista, and then I installed Office
2003. I downloaded and installed all fixes. Everytime I start an office
application, it prompts me to accept the license agreement. It doesn't
matter which applicaiton I launch, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc., every time
I close the application and reopen it, it prompts me to accept. I have
uninstalled and reinstall Office 2003 to see if that fixes the problem. It
doesn't. Has anyone else had this problem? Has anyone found a workaround?
It is irritating, and doesn't appear to be working as designed. Any help or
advice would be appreciated.

Try running one of the Office 2003 applications as an Administrator (right
click on one of the shortcuts for Office in the Start menu, for instance
"Microsoft Office Word 2003", and from the context menu that appears when
right clicking on it choose "Run as administrator").

Accept the license agreement, close the application, and then try launching
it normally.

Have a great day,

I had the exact same problem. I created a shortcut to Excel on the desktop and shift-right-clicked it and selected "Run as...", agreed to the license agreement, and voila, problem solved for all office apps.

I had the same problem with Office 2003 -- the short cut method worked great
for me. Thanks.

I assume there will be a patch or something for this eventually or MS will
get a ton of calls.
