Error when exiting Visio 2003 on Vista
Everytime I exit my Visio 2003 program, I got the error message saying that "Microsoft Visio has stopped working ...". And this problem might have something to do with my Adobe Acrobat professional 7.1 installed on Vista because I suspect Adobe installed some plug-in or add-ons in these programs that are causing problems on Vista.
To fix the exiting problem, we can go to Visio-Tools-Options-Security- uncheck the "enable COM add-ins".
Previously I have to go to the Adobe installation directory and rename the Pdfmvisio.vsl to something else in order to fix the Visio run-time error issue. However, from time to time, Adobe constantly recovers its installation and automatically re-generate the "Pdfmvisio.vsl" file that will crash Visio. I found that a better way to trick Adobe programs is to delete that file and create a 0-byte dummy file. Now both Adobe and Visio are happy and don't complain anything any more. This is really funny ...
Also, there is another problem that is related Adobe Acrobat professional 7.1 on Vista. If I install this 7.1 by default, whenever I open a windows explorer or Internet explorer, I will get this pop up window showing Adobe installation program is trying to repair or configure its programs. I notice the benefit is that when I open a PDF file embedded on web page, the opening is really fast probably due to the speedup launch function. But the configuration at the beginning is really annoying and it pops up all the time. I managed to make the problem go away by turning off the PDF web display/viewing features in Adobe Acrobat.
