    Locking up Visio for Enterprise Architects on x64

    Visio for Enterprise Architects is a wonderful little tool to play with - when it works.  Astute observers know I recently upgraded to Windows XP Pro 64-bit.
     
    Visio... decided it wanted to lock up every time I tried to open a "Database" diagram.  This was frustrating - most of why I use Visio is to view or create such diagrams.
     
    After some research and another obscure forum post, I learned that there is a problem with Visio and...... the Print Spooler service.  Apparently when you initially load the database diagram, Visio wants to ennumerate your printers - and on 64-bit it won't happen and the program locks up.
     
    Solution - stop the Print Spooler service before opening a database diagram in Visio.  Once you have it opened you can turn Print Spooler back on...
     
    I made a handy little .bat file on my desktop that simply executes:
     
    net stop "Print Spooler"
     
    and another that starts it back up.
     
    Minor inconvenience that's apparently been around for quite a while.
