Hello! It sounds like you've already taken several thorough steps to troubleshoot the issue with MultiTerm 2024. Here’s a structured approach to try and resolve the problem further:

**Step 1:** Ensure all RWS applications are closed, including any background processes related to MultiTerm.

**Step 2:** Navigate to the following folder on your computer:  

`C:\Users\Your User Name\App Data\Roaming\Trados\Multi Term`  

(Replace "Your User Name" with your actual Windows username.)

**Step 3:** Rename the folder corresponding to your MultiTerm version (e.g., "Multi Term17" for MultiTerm 2022) to something like "Multi Term17_old".

**Step 4:** Check for any XML files in that folder, particularly `Settings.xml`, `Base Settings.xml`, `Plugincache.xml`, and `User Settings.xml`. Rename these files by adding "_OLD" to their names.

**Step 5:** Restart your computer to ensure all changes take effect.

**Step 6:** Launch MultiTerm again, preferably using "Run as Administrator" by right-clicking the application icon.

**Step 7:** If the issue persists, consider reinstalling MultiTerm. Uninstall it via Control Panel, restart your computer, and then reinstall the latest version from the RWS website.

**Step 8:** If you recently added functions from Create Ribbons, it might be worth resetting any custom settings or checking if those changes are causing the issue.

If these steps do not resolve the problem, please provide any specific error messages you encounter, as this will help in diagnosing the issue further.
