Office 2003 & Windows Vista

[Matthew Gardiner]

Hi,

Got a slight problem, I installed Windows Vista, installed Office 2003,
installed all the latest updates. The problem occurs that everytime I load
Office 2003 applications I am asked whether I accept the licence (EULA).
There is no other major issues, just annoying having to press accept
everytime the application loads.

Log in to Windows as Administrator, start an Office program, accept the
EULA, close the Office program, log out of Windows as Administrator, and
log back in to Windows using your normal user profile.

If the previous suggestion doesn't help, then see
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=884202 "You must accept the Office
End User License Agreement every time that you start an Office program".

Cool; I went into the Office directory, right clicked on the word exe file,
loaded up as administrator, clicked accept, closed, then loaded it again as
normal user - all works nicely - thank you for the help I'll add that to
my blog post

Hello

I have the same exact problem with the user agreement pop-up.

I followed all the instructions as listed on the link below to change to
allow full control. I then started all my office software, clicked accept.

Now when I do to start Word, Excell and Outlook, I STILL get the agreement
pop-up. Why isnt it accepting?

I have done both methods as listed on that link. Both login under admin and
changing the registry via regedit32.

Funny thing is, I am the only user on the machine and I am set at admin
levels and it still doesnt accept the agreement.

think its time to upgrade to Office 2007??? but would that solve the
problem???

Am having trouble with other older versions of programs (i.e. adobe standard
6.0 doesnt allow printing from any program and have to use CUTE PDF to work
around that). but thats a cheap upgrade to Adobe 8.0

:: think its time to upgrade to Office 2007???

Nope. I have Office 2003 installed in my Vista system and everything works perfectly. ÄRepeat step 2 to step 4 for the other Office programs that still prompt you with the EULAÄ

This might be a registry permissions issue as far as I can see. We can work on this offline if you mail me on this.

I've been using Vista since Sept. 2007. All of a sudden - last month - my
old Access databases won't open.
Errors such as ... "An error occurred and this feature is no longer
functioning" and "selected collating sequence not supported by the operating
system".
OK - I know I'm out of date - I'm using Office 2000, but it meets my modest
needs.

So why, after 5 months, did Access 2000 stop working with Vista? Is there
any way to make it work? (I don't care to purchase a newer version of
Access.)

thanks.

Hi Dave,

I came across this MSKB when Googling:

You receive a "Selected Collating Sequence Not Supported" error message in Access 2000:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/202150

If that does not apply, you may post this question in Microsoft Access newsgroup for more accurate help.

Hey folks! Were you able to get any resolution on this? I'm in the same
boat - software was installed under a user ID with admin rights, tried to run
the different apps as admin, and tried the registry fix - all to no avail.
I'm hoping your off-line discussions found the answer???

Thanks in advance...

 

[katem]

Never mind - found THE answer in another thread

[Papagator]

Finally!!! Something that works!!! I've tried all other fixex, but this one
actually worked.
CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN WHY I CANNOT LOG ON AS ADMINISTRATOR IN OFFICE 2003? I
CLICK START>ALL PROGRAMS>OFFICE 2003>RIGHT CLICK A
PROGRAM>PROPERTIES>ADVANCED> AT THIS POINT THE OPTION TO LOG ON AS
ADMINISTRATOR APPEARS, BUT IS LIGHT GREY AND DOES NOT FUNCTION.
CAN YOU HELP?

Please unstick the caps. You don't "log-on" to Office of any version. What
exactly are you trying to do?

 

[Papagator]

OK, so it's not a "log on"...it's a box to check to "run as administrator":
it is light grey and does not allow me to run as administrator. Can you help?
