Re: Project 2003 crashes on startup

Julie,

You were right in this case. Norton Sucks! I had many problems with my vista
system so at this point I am bit biased and don't have any confidence in MS
systems

anyways....

Tech Brief for this problem is available...

Hello ms,

Are you really trying to run Project Server on the German version of
Vista home? If not, it doesn't sound like you are having the same
problem.

Are you running Norton? There have been a number of reports in this
newsgroup of a recent update in Norton anti-virus causing a problem
with Project files. Disable the Norton Office Plug-in and see if
that resolves the problem It possible it's "Norton sucks".

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

Hi Hubert,

Suddenly I am seeing this problem with my MS Project 2003 as well.
Did you
find out solution to your problem.

Please share how you worked it out?

I installed MS pro 2007 and same problem. It crashes as soon as
you try to
open any project file.

My base system: Vista home

Thansk for your help

Hi

wonder if you could help with some hints on how to debug my
problem further.
I searched a bunch of search engines already.

The symptoms I am seeing are

Start Project 2003 - Splash screen occurs - then behind splash
screen get
the message "MS Project stopped working ... due to a problem
application is
closed."
In the event log I find (my translation, message is in German)
Error in application WINPROJ.EXE, Version 11.3.2008.1207,
Modul msostyle.dll, Version 11.0.8164.0,
Exception code 0xc0000005,
Error offset 0x00002dc2,
Prozess-ID 0x146c

I do not remember if it ever worked against our Project Server
AFTER the
latest system re-installation. Obvously it did work in the past.

My configuration is (all German versions):
Base Operating system (Vista Business) newly installed.
Full install of Office 2007
Installed Project 2003 - required since we still have a 2003
server
around.
I am unsure of SP level of Project 2003. When I try to install
SP2 or SP3
get the response "no applicable software installed" or so.

What I have done so far.
Some hints suggest this maybe due to ActiveX controls. Disabled
all. No
change.
In the registry deleted all key that pointed to add-ins for
Project 11.
Unfortunately no change either


Thx & Best Regards
Hubert Daubmeier
