Hello Jutta,  

To address the 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object' error you're encountering with MultiTerm in Trados Studio 2019, please follow these steps:  

**Step 1:** Ensure that both Trados Studio and MultiTerm are updated to the latest versions. You can check for updates by going to the 'Help' menu in each application.  

**Step 2:** Since you mentioned that you upgraded your computers, ensure that your Windows 11 is fully updated as well. Check for any pending updates and install them.  

**Step 3:** Repair your installations of Trados Studio and MultiTerm through the Control Panel. Go to 'Programs and Features', find both applications, right-click, and select 'Repair'.  

**Step 4:** If the issue persists, try resetting your Trados Studio settings to default. Make sure to back up your settings and resources before doing this.  

**Step 5:** If you are still facing the same error, consider uninstalling and then reinstalling both Trados Studio and MultiTerm. Remember to back up your translation memories and term bases before proceeding with the uninstallation.  

**Step 6:** As a last resort, you can try creating a new termbase to see if the issue is related to the specific termbase you are currently using.  

If these steps do not resolve the issue, please provide any additional error messages or details about what happens when you try to use MultiTerm, as this will help in diagnosing the problem further.
