MS Access 2013 crashes continually on different computers.

I having increasing problems with Access 2013 crashing.  Even after compacting and repairing the database it crashes all of the time - now it's crashing whenever I try to do a "save as" or when I try to exit.  It's been unstable since I started using it but it seems to be getting worse, and it happens on multiple machines. Anyone have an idea why it's constantly crashing?

    Keeping in mind what you said about starting a new thread, although this thread explains is so well, I'm having exactly the same problem.  Have trusted location for front end and back end.  I have this problem on the Windows 7 computers running Access 2013.  I do NOT have any issues with two computers running Windows 8.1 and Access 2013.

    Suggestions (besides upgrading to Windows 8.1?)

    thank you so much...mine was and has been doing the same thing..."not responding" crashing, continuous blue circle...read your response about Trusted Locations...and voila...no more crashing and burning.  So thank you again for this "community board" and your fix response.  Worked beautifully...

    FiliepSamyn,

    You have replied to a thread that is a year old and nine pages long.  May I suggest you start your own with a link back to this thread but describing you issue in detail.  This will get your issue more attention as a lot has changed there may be a patch or some other solution available.

    Sounds like a typical MS solution but thanks for the suggestion.  I have experienced similar MS Access 2013 problems.  I run the application as administrator and changed the caching options.  The crashes are less than in the past but still as soon as I select save as...game over.  This is for sure a problem with the 2013 version because it does not happen with 2010 on another windows 7 machine.
