Hi all,

when I open an UML document created by Visio 2002 SP-2 my Visio 2003
hangs. All updates are installed. The web seems extremely mute on this
combination. Any similar experiences? Any solutions out there? Thanks!

Kind regards

robert

Correction: it's a DB schema document, UML seems to work ok.

Are you sure that this is an OS issue and not an Office issue? If the
latter, you should post to a Visio ng. Your Visio is running under WOW64
anyway, so the fact that you are on a 64-bit OS should not make any
difference.

It's an OS issue. The same version of Visio runs fine on a Windows 2000
SP4 (32 bit) with the same document.

Kind regards

Actually, all that could mean is that your specific version of Visio
might not be WinXP-compatible, regardless of OS version. Comparing an
OS's behavior on two different operating systems isn't a test of
anything but the application's OS-compatibility.

I know I've found and entered this thread late; what specific version
of Visio are you trying to use? Visio Pro 2002 works just fine on my
WinXPx64 machine; I'm afraid I don't have an older version readily
available for testing. If you have an earlier version, have you tried
running it in Compatibility Mode?

Well, yes. But it *does* work on a 32bit XP.

It's Visio Professional 2003 (11.3216.656

Unfortunately there we no entries in either of the local logs nor could
I make any sense of the problem report that was generated when I killed
the process. Too bad.

Thanks for listening
