So I am fairly new to Office 2007 and I recently every time I start any of my Office applications I always get a message 'Thanks for installing Office live add-in via Microsoft Update. You can now get started using Office Live Workspace. blah blah blah'
There is even a tick box to allowing you to remove this prompt but it was not working for me. Everytime I opened Word, BINGO the message was back.
Google solved this one for me and here is all you need to do to fix this annoying problem.
1. Logged in as the user that has the problem, click on Start, clcik Run, type regedit, click OK.
2. On the left pane expand HKEY_CURRENT_USER, expand Software, select Microsoft.
3. From the Edit menu point to New and select Key.
4. Type OfficeLive and press the Enter key.
5. Close Registry Editor.
6. Start Word, Excel, or PowerPoint, you'll get the prompt, make sure 'Do not show me this message again' is checked, click Continue.
7. Close the application (Word, Excel, or PowerPoint), the registry DWORD values should be created under OfficeLive for that user.
