For my job I rely heavily on Microsoft Visio for design work.  So as you can image when it crashes multiple times in the same day I get a wee bit frustrated.

Symptom:

Microsoft Office (Visio in this case) crashes every time I go save my work.

The Windows Application Event Viewer log reports the following error.

After doing some research, the first thing I did was re-launch the application in safe mode by doing the following: Start --&gt; Run --&gt; visio.exe /safe

This can be done for other office applications as well that are experiencing the same symptom, Ex: winword.exe / safe, excel.exe /safe  etc

By running the application in safe mode all add-ins are disabled.  Once I did this Visio ran fine for several hours.  From there I disabled my add-ins one by one by going for File --&gt;Options --&gt; Add-ins.

Turns out it was a my “send to Bluetooth” add-in,  which is not permanently disabled.
