Outlook EULA continues to popup

The problem in most probability is because Office was not installed in administrator mode. You do not need to reinstall office in admin mode to fix this problem.

  • Just open explorer, and browse to the Office folder which contains the Outlook executable (outlook.exe).
  • Right click on the Outlook executable, and select 'run as administrator'
  • Now accept the EULA and close Outlook.

You should not see EULA now for any user who runs Outlook on this computer!

Vista & Cisco VPN

I purchased a new laptop which had Vista on it, and the VPN settings that worked perfectly on my old laptop (XP SP3) stopped working on the Vista.

  • Well now exactly, I was able to connect the VPN, but when I tried RDC to any server on the VPN, it threw an error.
  • I could not even ping any of the servers
Solution - turned off IPv6 on my wireless network card and on the network connection created by Cisco.

Hurray it works now!
