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?

    Thank you olb49.  I like the new 2013 updates to the look and feel that 2013 brings, but not nearly as much as I like being able to develop in Access on a platform that doesn't crash.

    Hi Ben,

    I've tried decompiling (following Tim and David's steps here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3266542/ms-access-how-to-decompile-and-recompile) but the behaviour still persists.

    I have not been in this blog for a while. Just wanted to let Hafeez know that I have been experiencing very similar problems and that I have tried for weeks to find a solution. I ended up settling for Access 2010 which has been working just fine.

    I have had similar issues resolved by removing HP ProtectTools Security Manager.  Also have seen problems on computers with biometric devices (fingerprint scanner in my case).

    As mentioned, I've run Windows Update and installed the latest updates (video, printer etc...).

    Switching to a different default printer didn't do anything.

    Thanks for your suggestion, but since I have no issues working this the database in 2010, it's a lot easier to just revert to Office 2010 than any of the other suggestions....

    Cheers,
