Nothing is okay!

Johanne Arbour

To my dismay, I had never noticed this problem until today. In 2017, I installed the new version. Since sdlxiff documents are always provided to me, it does not cause any problems, but now I am receiving from a new client documents in Word or Excel format that I can not open. I clicked on check for updates, which took me to the site. I tried to install the updates and I always get the same message. When I try to open the documents, not with "Open a project", but with Translate a single document, I get an error message that says: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. I read that P.Filkin and L. Lopes had responded to similar cases, but I tried as Paul suggested to delete the Templates \ default file. I reinitialized Trados ... and I still get the message that an important update is available everytime I open. To summarize the situation, I can work with SDL Trados 2017 only if I receive sdlxiff files. Do you suggest that I should send my license back and reinstall Studio from scratch? Thank you!

    Hi ,

    I would try a reset first as this often resolves strange behaviour. You could use this app for the reset and this will also explain what you will lose by carrying out a reset before you do it:

    appstore.sdl.com/.../

    But if you'd rather do this manually then rename this folder (just add _old to the end or something, it's not important what you rename it to) and restart Studio:

    c:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\SDL\SDL Trados Studio\14.0.0.0

    So the path would become this:

    c:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\SDL\SDL Trados Studio\14.0.0.0_old

    If you can't find this folder then you need to unhide your hidden files/folders:

    Hello Paul,
    I have run the App "Freshstart" and it seems that everything runs smoothly. Hence, I have tried opening a few Word documents and for some of them I still get an "Error" message "Oject reference not set to an instance of an object but the document opens anyway! If y click close, I have my source and target looking normal and not missing anything. I can only save it (CTRL+S) and I cannot save the target as with (Shift+F12). I didn't try to use an Excel file yet. Is there an explanation for this? Thank you. Johanne Lalonde-Arbour

    Hi  

    It would be helpful if you could post the error stack as the object reference title is a very generic one.  There will be more detail in the underlying error text and this might help find the problem.

    So save the error stack to your desktop as shown below and then add it to a reply:
