Hello,
I am in desperate need for help (this is setup related, even if it doesn't appear to be at the moment).
I've been using Studio 2014 on a PC since last November. Yesterday, I closed it, shut down the computer and pulled the wrong plug and unplugged the PC before it was shut down. It started without an error message this morning.
However, when I start Trados now, I get the setup assistant. All the files I have worked on in the past or am currently working on are still in their respective folders, but I can't use Trados anymore.
I don't dare to go through setup again as I fear I will loose months worth of work that is not completed.
The only other thing right now is that I had to move the computer to a place with bad internet connection (am using internet connection via the sockets), but I am pretty sure Trados doesn't need to be online to work.
THE QUESTIONS:
What happens when I set up again. Will all my work be lost for good? Will the files currently saved in the folders of each project be deleted (as many software deletes the "old" version when you install a "new" version and seem to delete related files as well)
Or can I setup, search for the files I have already worked on and they will still be the way I left them yesterday?
How could this happen in the first place? What do I need to avoid in the future?
I look forward to hearing a solution - am slightly freaking out here, deadlines are looming.
Thank you!
Nicola
