Visio Reopens Repeatedly.

[Rikk]

XP -Pro Visio 2002 SP 2

When I close Visio, it relaunches the application 6 times before staying
closed. Just started doing this today.

Anyone see this, have a cure?

Hi Rikk,

Did you install Adobe Acrobat 6 just before you started seeing this
behavior? If so, you may be seeing a conflict between Acrobat and Visio,
with suggested workarounds discussed in these newsgroup messages:

No, Acrobat 6 was already there. It had performed a "self" update between
working and the "Buggered" state. An uninstall, reinstall fixed the problem.

I will check out the NG for next time.

Thanks
Rikk

Thanks for the info! I was having the same problem. I also had some similar
behavior on 2 other applications. I was also getting the very slow "updating
directory cache" symptom as well when Visio was starting up. After I
completely uninstalled the Acrobat Update and the previous version (6.01), I
re-booted. Since then, my applications load faster and shut-down faster
without crashing. I re-installed the Acrobat Reader and everything is still
running so much better. I cannot believe the difference. I would have never
thought of Adobe interfering.

Thanks so much!
