The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Visio 2002 Professional
  • Microsoft Visio 2002 Standard
This article was previously published under Q318328

SYMPTOMS

When you start Microsoft Visio 2002, Visio may stop responding (hang) when the progress bar reaches 100 percent of the directory cache update process.

You may also receive one of the following error messages:
  • Microsoft Visio C++ Runtime Library

    drive:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Visio10\Visio.exe

    Abnormal Program Termination
  • Visio.exe caused an Invalid Page Fault in Vislib.dll.
This behavior may occur for all user accounts or only for non-administrator user accounts. Because of this behavior, you cannot start Visio.

CAUSE

This issue can occur if one or more subfolders are missing from the following folder

Drive:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Visio10\1033

NoteDrive is the letter of the drive on which Microsoft Windows is installed.

If this behavior occurs only when you are logged on as a user who is not a member of Administrators group, your user profile is damaged. Your user profile can become damaged if the following conditions are true:
  • Norton AntiVirus 2002 is installed on the computer.
  • Norton AntiVirus 2002 conflicts with your user profile.

RESOLUTION

The issue occurs for all user accounts

NOTE: Because there are several versions of Microsoft Windows, the following steps may be different on your computer. If they are, see your product documentation to complete these steps.

If the issue occurs for both the Administrator user account and non-Administrator user accounts, follow these steps:
  1. Start Windows Explorer, and then open the following folder:

    Drive:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Visio10\1033

    Note This folder is the default location for the 1033 folder. If you installed Visio to a location other than the default location, the path of the 1033 folder will be different.
  2. Verify that all the following folders exist as subfolders of the 1033 folder. If one or more of these folders do not exist, create them:
    • Drawings
    • Filters
    • Help
    • Samples
    • Solutions
    • Startup
  3. Quit Windows Explorer.
  4. Insert the Visio 2002 CD into the CD drive or the DVD drive on the computer.
  5. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
  6. Double-click Add/Remove Programs.
  7. In the Currently installed programs list, click Microsoft Visio Standard 2002 [English] or Microsoft Visio Professional 2002 [English], and then click Change.
  8. Click Repair - Restore to original installation state, and then click Next.
  9. Click OK when you receive the message that Visio Setup completed successfully.
Note We recommend that you install the latest Visio 2002 service pack to update your installation of Visio. Visio 2002 service packs contain the latest updates and enhancements, in addition to many changes that are designed to improve the reliability and the performance of Visio.
