The problem is that I cannot find my memory of the last project got an instant message "you memory may have been corrupted" also I cannot shut down neither trados nor windows. Any suggestions?

There might be an issue with the path of the folder containing your project: you may have change it, it may contain an illegal character or the final path is too long. In the second case it might be a good idea to move the project (even temporarily) to a folder with a very short path using the Project settings.

Trados Studio > 1. Trados Studio
