This may also occur with Office 2010 also. Check to see if you have any document management software installed that adds shell extensions. The last case with this issue I saw was using something called Lotus Document Manager 6.5.1. We uninstalled that from Add or Remove Programs (Windows XP SP3) and the issue went away.
You would click on the Save or Open commands under the File tab in Visio 2010. As soon as you clicked on Save or Open the application just exited without warning. No crash, events in Event Viewer, nothing.
How we discovered this was caused by Lotus Document Manager…I was extracting Process Monitor to see what’s happening with the file system and registry during the time you click on Save/Open, it opened the ZIP file with WinZip. When I clicked Extract I was prompted with a Document Neighborhood window that I’ve never seen before. I was pretty sure it wasn’t native to Windows OS or Visio. So I checked with the user and they mentioned they had this for Domino documents. The only 2010 application on the machine was Visio 2010, Office was 2007 and it didn’t happen with any apps that came with Office 2007.
Microsoft Photo Editor
Error Reading File
With Security Update MS10-105 (KB2289162) installed.
We found it happens if the image has a width of 2,731 or greater. If you open the image in Paint and go to Image menu, Attributes… (CTRL+E), change the Width to 2,730 or less, then save. The file should now open.
This is currently under investigation. I’ll post back if we have more information to provide. If you need more information in the meantime please contact Customer Service and Support at 800-MICROSOFT or http://support.microsoft.com/oas.
Here’s an issue I saw recently that was a head scratcher but found a fix so wanted to share. You have a chart in a PowerPoint 2007 presentation, you want to edit the data in the chart so you right-click the chart, click Edit Data but nothing happens, Excel should launch.
You also get Edit Data in the ribbon when a chart is selected, it’s found under Chart Tools context tab, Design tab, Edit Data
This only happens with existing files. So if you create a new PowerPoint presentation and insert a chart using the Chart command under Insert tab, Edit Data opens Excel. If you send the existing files with the issue to another machine then Edit Data opens Excel. Even repairing and re-installing Office don’t help. Only Office Standard 2007 is installed on the machine. This would apply to any Office suite with PowerPoint and Excel.
Close PowerPoint and Excel, run this command as a user with local administrator privileges. You can use the Run window in the Start menu. This would be the preferred way to do it on Windows XP.
REGSVR32 ole32.dll
Should get a prompt saying “DllRegisterServer in ole32.dll succeeded”.
If you’re running Windows Vista or Windows 7 and User Account Control is enabled you need to run from an elevated command prompt.
Start/All Programs/Accessories, right-click Command Prompt, click Run as administrator
How did this happen? Not sure, but my guess is that it has something to do with the COM registration on the system. It’s possible something was changed, either with file associations, very likely the compatibility pack for 2007 is installed. I’ve seen this on systems where the company deploys 2007 Compatibility Pack onto all their systems either through a script or bakes it into the hard disk image. Keep in mind, that the 2007 Compatibility Pack is only needed if you have a version of Office before 2007.
Also, keep in mind this issue will also occur if Excel 2007 is not installed on the system!!!!!
If you don’t see any shapes window on the left of a new drawing after you upgrade to Visio 2010 go to the View tab, click on Task Panes, and click on Shapes
Shapes window missing above
You should now have the shapes pane. This is a toggle, on/off setting. If you click on the Shapes option again it turns the shapes pane off.
I’ve seen this with several customers upgrading from a previous version, like 2007, to 2010. I haven’t been able to recreate the issue on any of my systems with an upgrade from 2007 to 2010.
