MS Office Project has stopped working error message
When I am trying to open a project file which is in .mpp file format I am getting a error. The project crashes completely with all my existing files which are open. The error on the screen appear saying that there is a problem with project so it stopped working. I am not able to figure out the issue behind this. Why the problem appeared. It was working well and it is basically crashing only on opening that file. I am quiet annoyed with the issue. I need some help on the same. Thanks.

I am also having the same issue but with some files only. I had categories my project files on the basis of months. Files which are 6 months old are crashing. It is a bit weird to find that this files are corrupted. I had not done any changes and it was working well. But when I double click on the old files the project crash. It looks some settings or updates has destroyed the files. It is not getting more and more complicated. We cannot simply trust project on our old data. I had started keeping a backup with me so that for reference purpose at least I can view them in future.
MS Project Stops Working - Vista
I too am all of a sudden having the same error as described above. I'm running Vista Home Premium w/o SP1. I can open the very same project files on my XP SP2 machine without error. This problem started on Tuesday, 9/30. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have arrived here on this board for the first time because of this error. I've tried both repair and reinstall to no avail. This problem is real...
Thanks!
MS Office Project has Stopped Working Error Message
I had written in this post earlier about the exact same problem that I was having. The issue definitely is associated with Norton. I have Norton Internet 2009. To get rid of the error, the following needs to be done.
* Right Click on the Norton Protection Center Icon from the system tray
* Select Norton Internet Security
* Click Settings
* Under Basic Security, click Auto-Protect
* Click Configure
* Under Real-Time Protection, take the checkmark off "Turn on scanning for Micorsoft Office documents"
That should do the trick. I think that Symantec may have applied an update over the past few days hence everyone is experiencing the same issue.
Thanks

Re: MS Office Project has stopped working error message
I have a different problem. I am able to open any .mpp file and work on it. However, while I am working on the file whether it be a new one or editing a previous file, the program stops working and I lose everything I edited or created. I am working with Windows 7 and Microsot Office 2003.
I appreciate any help you can provide.
Re: MS Office Project has stopped working error message
I had faced a similar issue some weeks before where when I was trying to import a project file and the software has stopped working. I am using Microsoft Project Standard on my system. For fixing the same there are some installation patch which you can get with the help of Windows update. Run the same and then check back. If still the same issue lies then try re-install the same.

Dear Michaels,
Thank you for your reply. I tried to install the security patch I found as available updates, but it really doesn't appear to be a security issue. I would appreciate yuor response with instructions in a step by step manner as I am not the most knowledgable with respect to the detail of the program updates, etc. I also reinstalled the software and find that the program still "stops working".
thank you for your help.

If you have a portable Project 2003, then you can restart it by deleting the TEMP folder.(which will be recreated again with default settings)
