error when opening Studio 2017 "Index (zero based) must be greater than or equal to zero and less than the size"

Hello! Big problem - my Studio 2017 opens right into a Project with the error-message "Index (zero based) must be greater than or equal to zero and less than the size". I followed the advice in SDL-Support Knowledge and deleted the xmls-files of the last translation file. Restarted the computer and Studio, but that didn't help. Still error message while opening Studio.

Does anyone know what to do?

The project hast many previous translation-files in it (it is one of my main clients) - do I have to delete all the xmls.files in it? Does reinstalling Trados help? And if I reinstall - do I loose all which was in it?

Thank you for your help, Gerlinde
