Visio hangs once a template is chosen

Q

QT

Hi. I have Visio 2007. I am able to work with Visio docs as embedded
objects only. If I open Visio 2007, I am shown the templates that are
standard. If I choose one, the whole application hangs. If I don't choose a
template and instead choose something else like to manage Add-Ins, I am able
to do so. I also can't open up VSD files anyone sends me. Many people at my
office have this same issue.

All are here:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\1033

Except My Shapes, which is here:
C:\Documents and Settings\<MyWindowsLogin>\My Documents\My Shapes

Tried this just now. Didn't work. Even if I clear all of them, it doesn't
change things.

Ok, try menu Tools -> Trust Center -> addIns
and look at what is loaded. Anything interesting?

I've ticked the box "Require Application Add-ins to be signed by Trusted
Publisher", so actually none appear in the active list.

Ok, can you open a blank diagram (not one of the templates), just a File -> New?
Can you open a stencil by itself? (menu File -> Shapes)

I feel you've got some addon that has grabbed the open document event handler.

All these things result in the application hanging. I've even disabled all
add-ins just now and reloaded the application--still the same issue.

Has it always done this or is it a new install?
Have you tried re-installing?

Other than that I'm all out of ideas. I don't think this group is officially monitored any
more. Ask on Visio Guy's forum at http://www.visguy.com/vgforum/
(yes, I'm there as well !)

On this machine, it's always done this. Lots of my co-workers have the same
issue. I tried removing it entirely and re-installing. Didn't help. Thanks
for all the suggestions!
