Hello Vidak Vulić

Please try the solutions from this article: https://gateway.rws.com/csm?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0010091

If it doesn`t work try the one from here: https://gateway.rws.com/csm?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0033669

Are you able to open the same TM on the other computer? If it still doesn`t work on the one in question please send a screenshot with the error message.

Thank you,

Sorin

Hi Sorin,

when I go to C:\Users\%UserName%\I do not have AppData. In this folder (user name) I see: .memsource, 3D objects, Documents, Favorites, Concats, Music, OneDrive, Pictures, Searchs, Downloads, Desktop, Saved plays, Tracing, Connections, Videos. Could you remotely help me?

Regards,

Vidak

Hello Vidak Vulić

Most probably the AppData folder is hidden on your computer. To unhide it, open Windows File Explorer, click on View and check "Hidden Items" checkbox. 

You can also copy the whole path from the article and it will take you directly to the desired folder.

Thank you,

Sorin

Hi Sorin,

I reinstalled Windows yesterday, so I'm not doing my best. I went to file explorer but I don't see hidden files. What should I do? I do not know how to attach a picture?

Hello Vidak Vulić

Here is an article with step by step instructions on how to unhide files / folders. You also have a video which shows you how it`s done.

Hi Sorin,

I see application data and I entered a Trados. But I have a new problem with TM. When I double click on TM I see a message like in attachment. (I sent an attachment over mail, do you see it?) What is the problem now?

Hello Vidak Vulić

No, I haven`t received any email or attachments. This is a public forum with a generic email address so I can`t receive personal email from here. 

You can take a screenshot of the error message (with Snipping Tool for example) and you can simply copy / paste the error here. Alternatively you can provide as much details as you can about what you`re doing and what happens.

Is this issue occurring only for a specific TM or for all of them? Are your TMs saved locally on your computer or on a shared drive (One Drive for example)?

Thank you,

Sorin

Hello Vidak Vulić

If this is happening for a specific TM try the solution from this article: https://gateway.rws.com/csm?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0039439
