Why do I have to CONSTANTLY re-install Word?
I have MS Word 2002. Every time I want to open
"Word", I get the Office XP EULA License agreement, (even though I do NOT have Office XP ... I only have Works Suite 2002), when I click "Accept", it goes to installing Microsoft Word Features ... about halfway through it, I have to insert my Works Suite CD into my CD drive ... Word then finishes loading the info ... it also creates 2 UNWANTED additions atop my Start menu and a new folder of "Microsoft Office Tools". Why do I have to re-install it EVERY TIME I want to open word? I am sick of Word ... I hate Word !!!! Any help to end this seemingly endless installation process will be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks! pormike |

Were you logged in as administrator when you installed?

Why do I have to CONSTANTLY re-install Word?
Maybe this article will help, although you did write you were the administrator.
You must accept the Office 2003 or Office 2000 End User License Agreement every time that you start an Office 2003 or Office 2000 program http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;884202 -- Mary Sauer MSFT MVP http://office.microsoft.com/ http://msauer.mvps.org/ news://msnews.microsoft.com "Michael Mauzey" wrote in message ...

Why do I have to CONSTANTLY re-install Word?
Possibly pormike misunderstands. He might be the only user of the
computer but still nmot using the administrator account or an account with administrator rights. It would be best to check what accounts exist by navigatinf to Control Panel Users. If there is more than one account, log off and make sure the account logged into is the Administrator account.

Thanks Tom, but I am the Administrator ... However, I did what you suggested
just to be sure and it lists me as the only account AND the Administrator. Thanks for your help. "Tom Ferguson" wrote in message ... Possibly pormike misunderstands.

Why do I have to CONSTANTLY re-install Word?
Mary ... this helped a lot ... although mine says Wprd 10.0, not 9 or 11 ...
however, it won't let me click "full control" for "Owner/Creator" ... I can click full control and then click apply, but when I go back to Owner/Creator, the boxes are unchecked again. Should I delete this account ... there are 5 accounts listen ... 3 with my name ... 1 that says "system" and the one that says "Owner/Creator". Thanks ... pormike "Mary Sauer" wrote in message ...
