Visio Caused a General Protection (GP) Fault in OLE2PROX.DLL

 Last reviewed: February 27, 1998
Article ID: Q138035
Information in this article applies to the following programs:
  • Microsoft WordArt, version 2.0, 3.0
  • Microsoft Publisher, versions 2.0, 2.0a, 3.0

SYMPTOMS

When you edit a WordArt object that has been pasted on top of a Visio 3.0a object, you will receive the following error message: 

   Visio caused a GPF in OLE2PROX.DLL at 0003:4285
When you click the Close button, the message will disappear.

CAUSE

Microsoft Publisher and WordArt are communicating through lightweight remote procedure calls (LRPC). The dynamic link library (DLL) file responsible for this communication is OLE2PROX.DLL. When OLE2PROX.DLL is trying to order conversations between the container (Publisher) and the server (WordArt), the pasted object from Visio interferes with the routing of these messages and the error message is displayed.

STATUS

This behavior does not occur in Visio version 4.0.
