Trados 2015 find/find and replace function not working

Question

Hi there - when I attempt to open the trados 2015 find/find and replace function, the function is displayed in the windows toolbar but remains minimized, and I am unable to access it. Has anyone had a similar experience with this? I also had to force open trados from the toolbar at one stage last week by maximizing it with the right mouse button menu. Anyone got any idea of a possible solution? I didn't realise how unbelievably frustrating it is to not be able to use the function! Thanks, Rob

Hello Robert, 
 
That's interesting... the second one of these today, and until now I'd never seen this problem. Try using the standard windows keyboard shortcuts, Ctrl+F for search and Ctrl+H for replace.

Unknown said: I suspect it might have something to do with the firewall/virusscanner (Kaspersky) or some other programme which interferes with the working of Trados. 
 Maybe... 
 Unknown said: Another thought that has crossed my mind is that it might have something to do with Java (I heard somewhere that Trados is Java based). 
 No. 
 Have you tried disabling your AV to see if this helps?
