Hi all,
I will try to keep it as short as possible.
I have only four more days to deliver an extended 35,000-words extended MTPE assignment that started three days ago.
As has become increasingly common of late, my deadline (and mental health, for that matter) is being jeopardised by popping error messages in Trados Studio.
PROBLEM OVERVIEW
· Three days ago, I received an .sprx send package from my customer for a large project that includes a cloud-based TM (for which I also received the log-in and password)
· I opened the send package in Studio, opened the project in the list, and double-clicked to open the largest file of the project in Editor View (which worked fine)
· Upon moving to another segment than the first one, I received the infamous error message 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object' (1)
· I ignored this message and went on, but upon confirming the first segment, I received a second Error message:
'Unhandled exception has occurred in a component in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue.
Cannot access a disposed object. Object name: Infragistisc.Win.UltraWinStatusBar.' (2)
When I click the 'Details' button in the latter error message, a whole bunch of MS DOS-like system analysis information (that I do not understand) becomes available.
· One post on the RWS forum by Paul suggested that 'restoring the original editor view' in Studio might do the trick, which I tried
· This seemed to have worked: I kept receiving the 'Object reference not set' message (1) every time I opened the project, but did not receive the 'Unhandled exception' message again (2).
This way, all worked well for two full days.
Today, after clikcing away the usual 'Object reference not set' message (1), I received the 'Unhandled exception' message (2) once again, but this time the 'Restore editor view' trick is not working.
Upon confirming the exception message, Trados Studio even shuts down alltogether.
HERE IS WHAT I HAVE TRIED SO FAR:
· Deactivate the DeepL TM in the project's language resources in Studio + Restore Editor view + restart Studio >> Result: Error messages (1) + (2), Trados shuts down upon confirming the first segment
· Update Studio: download and install newest version + Reboot laptop + Restart Studio >> Result: Error messages (1) + (2), Trados shuts down upon confirming the first segment
· Control panel: repair Studio + Reboot laptop + Restart Studio >> Result: Studio cannot open (program icon pops up for three seconds and disappears again)
· Control panel: uninstall Studio + Download newest version from RWS account + Reinstall Studio + Reboot laptop >> Result: Error messages (1) + (2), Trados shuts down upon confirming the first segment
I desperately need a solution now, because my time is running out.
