Word 2010 (64-bit on Win7 64-bit) crashes crashes on opening any document by double-click.

Sad to have to open repeat thread, but I'm having the same problem that Maurice Reed was having (that thread is now locked, although I didn't see any solution there).
I have a fresh installation of Windows 7 (64) and Office 2010 (64). Any time I double-click on a document to open it (that is, any time I open a document from Windows Explorer), Word 2010 crashes.
This includes situations where Word 2010 is already running and I open a doc or docx from Windows.
This also happens with NEWLY CREATED documents. I tested this by opening Word and creating and saving a brand new document. Opening that doc (docx) from Windows triggers this crash.
I tried deleting the Normal.dot as was suggested in other threads.
Also tried installing updates and hotfix from Microsoft. No luck.
I'm curious as to why Maurice's thread was locked when there didn't appear to be any resolution to it.
I'm stunned that such a widespread problem would go without a patch, hotfix or resolution for so many months. Am I missing something? I've been researching this for about a month off and on now. Have yet to see an actual fix. On the other hand, I've heard
about this problem from others even before it happened to me.
What's going on up there? Where are Bartley & Jeanne when we need them. ;D

Hi Dave,
Maurice's thread was locked because he is using Office 2010 Beta, and his post is in the forum for Office Beta, since the Beta is past due, the whole forum is locked.
Let's go back to your question.
Have you installed the Office 2010 Service Pack 1? The service pack fixes many issues, you should try if you haven't.
Download
the Microsoft Office 2010 Service Pack 1 64-bit package now.
I may to metion is that all I know the Office 2010 64-bit will work smoothly with Windows 7 64-bit, cause I'm using it for my daily work.
So, the problem you met with mostly caused by the 3rd-party add-ins/services.
Have you tried to open the document by holding the Ctrl key? This will open the document in safe mode, if you are able to do so, this will help us to narrow down the root cause.
If it will crash even when you start it in safe mode, let's try to run a clean boot to check this issue. In a clean boot, lots of service will be disabled, if we wouldn't get problem in a clean boot, then we can enable the service little by little, then
we can find out which service might cause this issue.
For a detail instruction, you can refer to this kb:

Let me know the result, any questions, feel free to let me know.

Word 2013 (64-bit on Win8.1 64-bit) crashes crashes on opening any document by double-click

Very much like thread
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/2e9b63f5-7c94-44f6-9177-f936d980388a/word-2010-64bit-on-win7-64bit-crashes-crashes-on-opening-any-document-by-doubleclick?forum=officesetupdeployprevious I experience the same problem with Word
2013 on Win 8.1. As I don't need them, all add-ons where disabled. The document opens proper in the 64-bit Mac Office 2011
There is not GUI error message. Office was freshly installed. In the event log there are only the normal messages from Security-SPP. Are there other source of logging that could hint in the proper direction?

Hi,
Since the issue isn't related to Add-ins, please perform a clean boot to determine whether background programs are interfering with Word:
1. Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and then tap Search. Or, if you are using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, and then click
Search.
2. Type msconfig in the search box, and then tap or click
msconfig.
3. On the Services tab of the System Configuration dialog box, tap or click to select the
Hide all Microsoft services check box, and then tap or click
Disable all.
4. On the Startup tab of the System Configuration dialog box, tap or click
Open Task Manager.
5. On the Startup tab in Task Manager, for each startup item, select the item and then click
Disable.
6. Close Task Manager.
7. On the Startup tab of the System Configuration dialog box, tap or click
OK, and then restart the computer.
More information about clean boot can be found in this kb below:

You will also need to read the section "What is next when I have a clean boot environment?" to troubleshoot the problem.
As you mentioned, if you find any threads that indicates the updates aggravate the problem, would you please share the thread link with me?

How to Install Microsoft Word Add-in in Windows Svr 2008 R2 64bit with Word 2010 32 bit

I developed Microsoft Word Add-In for 32 bit systems which is working fine. Now i want to install the same on Win Svr 2008 R2 Enterprise 64 bit with 32 bit Microsoft Word installed. What changes do i need to do in my project and installer.
Desired Target: Win Svr 2008 R2 64 bit with Word 2010 32 bit
Working/Development/Testing PC: Win 7 32 bit with Word 2010 32 bit
Tried Steps
Changed project and installer target to x64
When i give target location in Application folder [ProgramFilesFolder][Manufacturer]\Office14\ADDINS\ the Add-In automatically installs in C:\ProgramFiles (x86)\Office14\ADDINS\ and registry is also updated as required but when word is started it tries to
load Add-In in location C:\ProgramFiles\Office14\ADDINS\ whereas files are placed in x86 ProgramFiles because word too is 32 bit.
note: Setup of server (Win08r2 64 bit with 2010 Word 32 bit) cannot be changed as it is running in production.
please guide how do i solve the issue.

I rebuilt the solution in .Net 3.5 and somehow it solved the problem on the clients.
For second query As Microsoft Word 32 bit is installed on Win Server 08 r2 64Bit so i needed a target code for 32 bit which worked. 64 bit solution was not required as quoted by
Eugene Astafiev
earlier. Thanks for your support.

Acrobat X & XI add-in Word 2010 32-bit cause macro error messages

When I enable Acrobat COM add-in in Word 2010 32-bit, when I close Word and re-open Word, I receive the following
This dialog screen pops up three consecutive times after I click on "OK" three consecutive instances.
The add-in works great in Outlook 2010, Excel 2010, but not in Word 2010. I manually installed the Trusted Pulisher Certificate for the add-in the the Trusted Publisher store as shown with no success either.
I went to Word options to the Trust Center and enabled anything pertaining to macros or scripts and still was NOT successful. This worked at one time before, prior to Office 2010 updates from Microsoft. I suspect a Microsoft update may have broken this add-in and may require Adobe to put out an update to fix this. This worked in January 2013 thru Feb 2013 but now fails with Microsoft Office updates after March 2013.
Any help would be appreciated!

I cannot insert a pdf object into word 2010 (64 bit).

I've tried to insert a pdf file (acrobat 11 pro installed) into word 2010 (64 bit) and get a message along the lines of:
"the program used to create this object is acrobat. That program is either not installed on your computer or it is not responding. To edit this object, install Acrobat or ensure that any dialog boxes in Acrobat are closed."
Acrobat 11 Pro is installed and works fine for everything else.
I've never had a problem with this before.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I've already tried to repair acrobat and I've uninstalled and reinstalled it but makes no difference.
(problem also applied to excel and word pad)

I am having this same issue. Has it been solved yet?

I have a LR 3.6 64 bit that refuses to open any images today

I have a LR 3.6 64 bit that refuses to open any images today. Computer restore point created and used , Norton cleaned still not joy any ideas guys?

Rose, the problem is that you've somehow managed to ask Lightroom create a catalog folder with the name of an existing photo file, which as you have seen causes problems in LR3 (the bug was fixed for later releases). The only reliable fix is to reset the Lightroom preferences file (so that it forgets about that invalid catalog, so stops trying to open it). C.frans has already given you a link to tell you how to reset the preferences, but if you need more detailed instructions you can find them here:

After clean install Preview and MS Word won't open any documents.

Did a clean install of Mavericks. Restored my files from dropbox. (thousands of pdf and word files, doc. and docx)
Now, preview and MS Word won't open any documents.
Preview fails to open PDF so as MS Word fails to open any doc or docx file. Both crash on launch (not responding).
The only way to open the files is renaming them.
Try to delete the .plist (preview and Word), dont work.
Anyone know how to fix?

Hi Myelenium,
Thanks for the info about Event Viewer!

I removed WinZip and reinstalled the older version, and then I started getting these messages. It also seems to be interfering with Outlook 2010 help--I get another message about downloading a Firefox document and it won't load.

Hello Yong,
Thanks for posting in our forum. Seems you've already tried lots of things, and I can see that those are all steps that reportedly have worked for others.
Here is one more thing that you might want to have a try:
Open Registry Editor
Go to the registry key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Excel.Sheet.12\shell\Open\command
Highlight the key, select the (Default), select "Modify..."
from the pull-down menu and then enter the value below: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 15\Root\Office15\EXCEL.EXE"
"%1" (include the quote marks)
Then OK your way out
Please have a try and feel free to post back.

Word 2007 doesn't open any documents.

Hello.
Our team are running Outlook 2010 and all the other office apps in 2007.
However, Word 2007 always has a problem with opening documents.
It works, shows none of error messages and the Word 2007 window opens properly but just doesn't show any documents.
To open a document, I have to drag and drop a document in Word 2007 that I want to.
After this small bothering task, everything works really fine.
I have changed every settings and add-in that could cause this issue.
To solve this problem Word 2007 has to be removed and installed again.
I'm really struggling to fix this issue but haven't found any reason.
Please help me with this issue!

Yes I thought of the same thing.
What I found was 2010 changed something in 2007 after Windwos Update.
This might be registries.
An error message box pops up saying 2007 got damaged when I try to remove 2007 from Programs and Features and the list of 2007 is just gone leaving all the functions and feature stayed on a computer.
Office 2007 still works after removing just 'the Office 2007 list' though.
In this case 2007 has to be installed(actually over-installed) AGAIN to write 2007's registry properly, remove 2007 than install 2007 again.
So annoying... to fix this issue, have to do this task...
As you mentioned, I need something to manage the registry and will read the description on the web page carefully.
Thank you so much. Stefan Blom.

LabVIEW Developer Suite 2010 32 bit crashes on Windows 7 64 bit

I have a new Laptop, fresh install.
Windows 7 64 bit machine
Loaded LabVIEW 2010 10.0 32 Bit onto the machine.
I get the initial LabVIEW 2010 Splashscreen, showing make company and license then I get the following error:
LabVIEW 10.0 Development System
LabVIEW 10.0 Development System has stopped working
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.

Hi N4KSS,
Can you try to repair the LabVIEW installation and see if this helps to resolve the issue? Here is a KB titled "How can I Repair my LabVIEW Installation?" that describes the process.
Also, is the installation being performed from a LabVIEW 2010 CD or from a downloaded installation?

Photoshop CS5 64-bit crashes when opening an image; 32-bit works fine

This is a bit of a tricky problem, but if I start up Adobe Photoshop CS5 64-bit, it runs alright. But the second I choose an image and open it, I get "Photoshop has stopped working..." and Windows tries to find a solution.
However, the 32-bit version of PS CS5 works perfectly.
On my Mac Mini, however, which ONLY HAS Photoshop 64-bit (Creative Suite 5, Snow Leopard, latest updates), images open and edit fine.
On my PC, I also had this same exact problem with the 64-bit version of Photoshop CS4.
I read in a few forums that it might be a corrupt font, etc., but I have no idea why a corrupt font would be affecting how Photoshop 64-bit opens an image, especially if I don't even get a chance to edit the image or anything. The images I've been trying to update are JPEGs.
I have all of the updates installed on my PC regarding CS5. It's completely updated. I am really stuck. I'd like to be able to take advantage of the 64-bit technology and put that version of Photoshop to use, but I can't.
Thanks in advance. I'm willing to try anything at this point.

I did my best to recreate it to look the way it looks in the console, so nothing should be confusing.
Also, @Chris Cox- I do have the most recent beta driver installed for my onboard graphics card, which is an Nvidia GeForce 6150SE, maybe that could be causing it. I will uninstall it and install the most recent recommended release from Nvidia's site.

Illustrator CS6 64-bit Crashes When Opening Files

This is a problem that has been plaguing me since I moved to CS6 64-bit (on a Windows 7 machine). I've only seen it in Illustrator:
Seemingly randomly once or twice a week, I will click on an AI file in Windows Explorer to open it, and Illustrator will crash to the desktop. There is no consistency to the files that I've been able to find. Some are local to my hard drive, and some are on the network. It could be a file I've opened several times the same day already or a file I haven't opened in months. I restart Illustrator and everything's fine— I can access the file, no problem.
The only trait that I have sussed out is that it seems to happen more frequently if I've left the computer idle for 20 minutes or so, which is well below the sleep time-out for my hard drive. It's almost like Illustrator doesn't know how to wait for a file if the file isn't immediately available. (The files are not open elsewhere.) I've read that Illustrator is cranky with files on network locations, but this happens more frequently with local files.
Program files are loaded from an SSD, but the scratch disk is my local HD and my files are stored on the HD. My scratch disk was originally the SSD, but the problem occured almost every day under that configuration. Moving the scratch disk to the HD made the crashes occur less frequently.
The event log for yesterday's crash doesn't seem to be particularly helpful. (Posted below.)
Is this behavior familiar to anyone? I have been searching Adobe's forums and the web in general with no luck for the last year. My apologies if this has been addressed elsewhere in the forums and I haven't found it.
Thanks in advance for any advice!

I'm in and out of CorelDraw as well. (I don't open Corel files in Illustrator.) I also see no disk errors in the event log, but, as I said, I'll check for updates because that couldn't hurt, right? :-)
Thanks again.
