Compatibility between Windows 7 and MS Access 2007

I have Microsoft Access 2007 on my laptop and just upgraded from Windows XP to Windows 7 (32 bit).  Since the upgrade, I've been getting this message:

"Office has stopped working....close program"


Now, I also have a desktop computer with MS Access 2007 and Windows XP.  I never
received the above message each time I work on the same Access database.

How can I fix the issue on my laptop ?

The usual...

Make sure you have all update installed for Office AND Windows
Compact the DB
Compile the code
Create a new blank DB and import all the objects...
Problem might be caused by unwanted addin

Run this command


msaccess /safe

If there is not crash reported then probem is caused by addin.

Disable or Delete unwanted addins

Since my office has not yet adopted the Windows SP2 update as our install standard, we did install the Office 2007 update which reduces the incidence of the Non-responding error message.
