Hello,

I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing this issue. The error message "parameter is not valid" can be caused by a variety of factors. Here are some steps you can take to try and resolve this issue:

Step 1: Try disabling the Community notifications from the Help ribbon menu by clicking on Settings. This might be causing the error if it's trying to fetch data that's causing a conflict.

Step 2: Clear the cache of Trados Studio. You can do this by going to Tools > Options > Environment > Files and Folders and clicking on the 'Clear Cache' button.

Step 3: Check if there are any updates available for Trados Studio 2022. You can do this by going to Help > Check for Updates.

Step 4: If the problem persists, you might want to consider reinstalling Trados Studio 2022. Make sure to back up your settings and projects before doing so.

I hope these steps help you resolve the issue. If the problem persists, please provide more details about the error, such as when it occurs and what actions you're performing when it happens. This will help in diagnosing the problem more accurately.

Best regards,

The error pops up randomly, when I am typing and it will not let me continue typing. It is very very annoying. I have already installed the latest version of 2022.

Hello,

I understand how frustrating this can be. Let's try a few more steps to resolve this issue:

Step 1: Ensure that your computer meets the minimum system requirements for Trados Studio 2022. This includes checking your operating system, processor, memory, and available disk space.

Step 2: Try running Trados Studio 2022 as an administrator. To do this, right-click on the Trados Studio 2022 icon and select 'Run as administrator'.

Step 3: If you're working with a large project, consider breaking it down into smaller parts. Large projects can sometimes cause performance issues.

Step 4: If the issue persists, you might want to reset your user profile. Please note that this will reset all your settings to their default values. You can do this by going to File > Setup > Reset User Profile.

Remember to always save your work frequently to prevent any loss of data. I hope these steps help you resolve the issue. If the problem continues, it might be best to reach out to the software provider for further assistance.

Best regards,

The computer is new! and fine, I run it as an administrator, broke down the project in three parts... and all of that did not solve the problem.

Hello,

I'm really sorry to hear that you're still experiencing this issue. It's clear that you've tried a lot of steps to resolve it. Let's try a couple more things:

Step 1: Try disabling any antivirus software temporarily. Sometimes, antivirus software can interfere with Trados Studio. If this resolves the issue, you may need to add Trados Studio to your antivirus software's list of exceptions.

Step 2: If you're using any plugins or extensions with Trados Studio, try disabling them. Sometimes, these can cause conflicts.

Step 3: Try creating a new Windows user profile. There could be an issue with your current user profile that's causing the problem.

Step 4: If none of these steps work, you might want to consider contacting the software provider for further assistance. They may be able to provide more specific troubleshooting steps or identify if there's a bug that needs to be addressed.

I understand how frustrating this can be, and I appreciate your patience as we try to resolve this issue.

I still have the problem, do not know how to solve it and cannot work! Has anyone had this problem?

Is this still an issue for you?  Apologies for the late reply... not sure how we missed this one.

Hi Paul,

I'm currently experiencing the same issue: random freezes with the error message "Parameter is not valid", even when I open a few of the files instead of all (91 in total).

I have the latest version of Trados Studio 2022 installed, Windows 11 up to date, and I run Trados as an administrator.

Best regards,
Andrés

I'm having the same issue as you. Did you find a solution?

Thanks,
Andrés

Hi Paul,

I also suffer the same issue, as the window pops out randomly. After that, either Trados cracks or I cannot type anything in the section I'm editing. 

My Trados version is 2022, and the Windos 11 up to date is in quite a similar situation to that of Andre.

Are you still struggling with the same problem, or have you already fixed it? I'm curious about the situation and what the solution is.

Thanks in advance!

Hi there, 

 Paul  is on holiday currently.

May I suggest that you click the +New button top right of your screen to create a new thread, ask your question again and hopefully someone will contact you from RWS Support. The staff at RWS can only generate one Support Case per thread so this is why you need to start a new thread if you would like someone to help you with your specific problem. 

Give as many details of the problem as you can, and, for example which version of both Studio and MultiTerm you are using (they need to be the right version for each other) and what steps cause the issue to arise.

All the best, 

Ali
