cannot set the active view to a view that is disabled or not available

Kaarina Tapola

 Hello,

 

I have studio 2015 installed. 

I get this mesage "Cannot set the active view to a view that is disabled or not available" when I try to Exit SDL.

I read that the problem could be solved with "Reset Window Layout". But that does not work for me. Instead I get "Object reference not set to an instance of an object".

Any solutions?

 

In advance, thank

Kaarina

    Hi

    This may be resolved by running a Windows Repair on Studio:

     

    Close all SDL applications.

    1. Open the Control Panel as follows:

    Windows Vista/7: Start > Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features.

    Windows 8: Right-click on the screen at bottom-left corner and choose Control Panel > Uninstall a Program.

    Windows 10: Right-click on Start > Control Panel > Select View by: Small Icons > Programs and Features.

    2. Click/highlight 'SDL Trados Studio 2015' in the list and click 'Repair' on the top toolbar. It will take a few minutes, wait until it has finished.

    3. Restart Studio.

     

    If this doesn't work, try the following:

    1. Via Windows Explorer, navigate to:

    C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\SDL\SDL Trados Studio\12.0.0.0

    (Where [USERNAME] is your user name)

    2. Delete or rename the folder (as 12.0.0.0_old for example)

    3. Restart Studio. A new folder will automatically be created when you close Studio. You can delete the old one if you just renamed it.

     

    If this doesn't work, let us know and we can look deeper.

    All the best,

    Alison

    Hi Kaarina,

    I generally run into this error message when I have completed a project and removed it from the Studio list of projects.

    Studio will often display this message if you do not open another project first before exiting the program.

    This problem still occurs in Studio 2017 (fully up-to-date version).

    It does not affect me much any more, as I move my project folders to another directory when I finish a project.

    Instead of removing the project from the Studio list, I leave the project in the list, exit Studio and then move the project folder.

    When I start Studio again, it can no longer find the project folder and Studio automatically removes the project from its list.

    This procedure comes in handy when I am only working on one project (i.e. when I don't have another project to open before exiting Studio).

    Best regards,
