Multi Term - Object reference not set to an instance of an object

Hello,

I have Studio 2021 and Multiterm 2021, both the latest versions and fully updated, on a laptop running Win 10 Pro.

Whenever I try to create a new termbase using Multiterm, I get the error "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" and no other clue.

I uninstalled and reinstalled both Studio and Multiterm, and I still get the same error.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

  • Hello,

    I understand that you're experiencing an issue with MultiTerm 2021. The error message "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" is a general .NET Framework error, which can be caused by various factors. Here are some steps you can try to resolve this issue:

    Step 1: Ensure that your .NET Framework is up to date. You can check for updates within your Windows Update settings.

    Step 2: Try running MultiTerm as an administrator. To do this, right-click on the MultiTerm shortcut and select 'Run as administrator'.

    Step 3: If the issue persists, you may need to reset your MultiTerm settings. To do this, go to the 'Tools' menu in MultiTerm, select 'Options', and then click 'Reset All'.

    Step 4: If none of the above steps work, you may need to repair your .NET Framework. This can be done through the 'Programs and Features' section of your Control Panel. Find the .NET Framework in the list of installed programs, right-click on it, and select 'Repair'.

  • Hello,

    I understand that you've tried a lot of steps to resolve this issue. The error logs you've provided indicate that the issue might be related to the connection with the MultiTerm Server. Here are a few more steps you can try:

    Step 1: Check your firewall and antivirus settings. Make sure that they are not blocking the connection to the MultiTerm Server.

    Step 2: Try to connect to the MultiTerm Server from a different network. This can help determine if the issue is related to your network settings.

    Step 3: If you're using a proxy server, try disabling it and then try to connect to the MultiTerm Server again.

    Step 4: Try to connect to the MultiTerm Server from a different computer. This can help determine if the issue is related to your computer settings.

    Step 5: If none of the above steps work, you may need to contact a technical expert who can look into your system configuration in more detail.

    I hope these steps help you resolve your issue. If you continue to experience problems, I would recommend seeking further assistance from a technical expert who can look into your system configuration in more detail.
