Multiterm (Studio 2017) freezing/crashing when trying to add new term. No error messages. Reinstalled, did not sole the problem.

Multiterm (Studio 2017) freezing/crashing when trying to add new term, then stopped working. There were no error messages, it just kept freezing every time I wanted to add a new term, then it stopped launching altogether (and still no error messages). I reinstalled it and I am having the exact same problem. I have given my antivirus and firewall additional permissions in case that could be the problem, but it does not seem to solve anything. Anyone experiencing the same or who can help?

Thanks!

  • Hello   ,

    Have you tried updating both Studio and MultiTerm to the latest stand?
    To do this simply open each application in turn then go to HELP> Check for updates.
    Also ensure that both Studio and MultiTerm are added to your AV providers 'whitelist'- (you may need to google your provider on how to do this as sometimes its not always that easy).
    Then should the problem still persist- try resetting both applications-
    You can use this free app to do this-
    appstore.sdl.com/.../

    EDIT: I forgot to add- Also try setting Windows Layout via the VIEW tab In Studio/MultiTerm


    Please let me know if this helps.

  • Hello Steve,

    thank you for the fast reply.

    This is the error I get when trying to open the term base in MultiTerm:

    Screenshot of SDL MultiTerm with an error dialog box stating 'An error occurred while parsing EntityName. Line 1, position 138.'

     

    Studio is at version 2017 SR1 - 14.1.10012.29730,

    MultiTerm  is at verision 2017 SR1 - 14.2.6.23639

    The check for updates does not offer anything new, I presume it was updated to the last available version by the Microsoft Repair function.

    So far, the problem persists, I'll try the other steps ...

  • Hello Andrea Schultheiß (AndreaSchultheiß) ,

    You can post the full error stack if you click on the blue disc icon (in the error message) and then post this into the community.
    We can then see the full error- which often helps determine the problem.
