Dell Inspiron laptop, XP Pro (SP2), Office 2000.

Had to wipe new machine that came with XP Home installed, then had to manually install drivers. What a pain! Now a new problem:

Every time the user opens any Office program, he must go thru the whole EULA thing. I know we've run into this before, but cannot remember or find documentation on how to fix it. Programs work fine after clicking Accept and Yes, but it's certainly an annoyance, and is keeping him from installing SpamBayes. Anybody know the fix, or what is missing?

Maybe the user has restricted rights but needs admin rights to update a registry key once he/she has accepted the EULA for the first time?

I've got so fed up with quirks like this from users not having enough rights that I'm now scrapping my security policy and setting up new machines with all users as local administrators just to avoid all the support calls !

Hey, DJNafey!
Thanks for your help! I had tried that - or thought I had - and wasn't successful. But I finally tried it again today. It didn't take on the first go-round, but did on the 2nd. Hurray! Then we had an issue with Outlook telling us that Outlook was not set as default for various services. After telling it 4 or 5 times to make it the default, it finally did. Weird, huh?
Can't figure out why those things wouldn't take on the first attempt, but as long as it works now I'm not gonna worry about it.
Big thanks!!!

I expect that the ReallyAnnoyingEULA setting was switched on in the registry

Glad you got it sorted
