Urgent! ... Trados Business Manager does not start anymore. No reason!

Dear friends, this is BAD, please ... help me ...
With NO any apparent reason, my Business Manager ceased to work ... It was working perfectly fine untill, at a certain point, it get stucked and now even after restarting updating etc etc my system says that the "settings.bin" file is being in use by another process ... I think this is not possible. No any action has been taken while I was working on the business manager (no update, no upgrade; nothing!)

Hope we can find a solution ASAP!
Many thanks.
Pietro

  • Hi Pietro,

    Not sure why, but I didn't get notification about this thread.  But got it today.

    Looks like it says that the app can't access settings file. So, will it launch if you simply delete this file? This file only contains information about database file location. So, if you delete this file, and if you use non-default database location, then empty database will be created in default location after deleting this file. If the app launches correctly, go to settings, change database path, and answer No to the question about moving ypur current database into a new location (because 8f you answer Yes, this empty database will overwrite your real database. Then, restart the app and it should work.
