Message "Parameter is not valid" in SDL Trados Studio 2021 constantly popping up

Good morning,

recently, when I was translating a memoQ XLIFF source file in SDL Trados Studio 2021 the message "Parameter is not valid" was constantly popping up. I was not able to type the further text (Trados "froze") and had to close Trados and open it again in order to continue.

I have tried to rename the folder in C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\SDL\SDL Trados Studio, but it hasn't solved the problem.

Disabling AutoSuggest helped, but this of course cannot be a permanent solution.

Do you know how to fix this error permanently? Or has it something to do with the source file?

Kind regards,

Malgorzata

Hello Małgorzata Gardocka,

What version of Studio 2021 are you running? You can check this by clicking on Help- About Studio

Have you tried removing the plugin and reinstalling?

If you could post the full error stack, this may help find the issue-

My version of Trados is SDL Trados Studio 2021 SR1 - 16.1.4.4184, but the error described by me was also present in the previous version (I have updated Trados to the latest version yesterday).

I use no plugins with Trados. Unfortunately I can't save the error, because I have already finished the translation.

Hello Małgorzata Gardocka ,

The error looks to be graphics related.

First, try a simple Windows Layout Reset in Studio

If this doesn't help, please ensure everything is up to date- (including graphic card drivers).

The following Wiki's should help you do this-
