Hi folks,

Need your help.  I have Visio Professional 2016 installed and I'm trying to save very high resolution png files.  Necessary for work.

The error I get is:

An error (920) occurred during the action Save As.

An error occurred.  Visio is unable to complete exporting.

I need to know a way to save these as very high resolution graphics 800x800 or above.  Is there a setting that I can enable this ability?  If I save as 200x200 it does it no problem.

    Hi Winni,

    Thank you for responding!  I did try the File > Options > Advanced, under Display check the option "Disable Hardware keys in ScreenTips".  Unfortunately, there was not that option.  I did find "Disable Hardware Graphics Acceleration" and that was not checked, so I checked it.  Tried it again, and still received the same error.

    I then tried your suggestion to start in safe mode... it also had the error.  I have attached my Display Settings in Advanced so you can see.

    Hopefully you can see the setting that's causing it?  Thank you so much for your time!

    Hi Rick,

    In Visio 2016, please try the following settings:

    File > Options > Advanced, under Display, check the option "Disable hardware keys in ScreenTips".

    If the issue persists, please start Visio in safe mode, then check if the issue can be resolved. To start Visio in safe mode, please do:

    Press Win+R to open Run in Windows, type Visio /safe, press Enter.

    Regards,

    Winni

    Hi Winni,

    Yes, it happens every time I try to save a resolution over 300x300.  Sometimes I have to go even lower to get it to save.  I have a huge amount of space on my hard drive so I don't think that is the culprit, but I'm open to any suggestions that you have.

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    Does the issue happens every time you saved as a high resolution png file? Or just happened to a specific Visio file?

    When clicking OK to "Save As" a PNG file, a PNG Output Option window would be prompted, there is a resolution setting:

    I set the resolution to 800X800 in my Visio 2016 (16.0.7426.1015), and there is no issue when saving. Please collect your Visio version by clicking File > Account > About Visio.

    Regards,

    Winni Liang
