Visio pauses when my laptop is removed from network

[sbg]

Hi All,

I use Visio 2000 on my Win98 laptop. When I'm at work and on the network there's no problem. When I detach from the network (ie. at home) I endure these extended hangs/pauses frequently. Visio always comes back but it slows me down terribly. My friend believes it's because Visio is polling for the network printers which it cannot find once I detach from the network.

Anyone know of a fix or workaround?

Thanks

Check the path settings in your options (tools-options-paths). Perhaps there is a network path set for any component.

It may be an old post, but the question is still relevant.

Since Visio heavily uses the printer drivers when developing a drawing, I would ask if he is using a network printer.
