Default New Installation of Office 2003 OEM in Vista is a mess

Valentin,
"Consequences:
2. Big deal: every time I open an Office app., a window pops up:
"MS Office End-User License Agreement. If you don't accept, this
application will quit". After clicking "Accept" the application opens,
but...

You need to Logon with an Administrator acct, and open Outlook, or another
Office application. Then accept the User End License.


Thanks for responding. You are right about "Logon with an Administrator
acct", but it's easier said than done. For example when I right-click Word
there is no choice in the menu "Run as Administrator".
In the meantime I have been reading:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/884202 which describes my problem, and also
what to do about it, including a "workaround" how to make changes in
Registry.
It will take some time before I study and understand the dark labyrints of
Vista in Word/Properties/Security with all the "permissions" and set up my
"proper logon".
Apparently my current system of creating a password when Windows starts is
not enough. This condition must also explain why I had difficulties with my
"wireless" network computers.
I wish there was a simple instruction like "Do this: 1,2,3...", alas...
