I'm a victim (and not the only one) of the Windows 8.1 upgrade, which made most of my programs choke for the first few days (Trados could only be run in administrator mode for instance) - almost 2 weeks later, most of those problems have been solved, however, today I attempted to open a package in Trados (I have translated single files before -without problems) and I keep getting the error message "Could not find a part of the path E:\.............."

I'm a victim (and not the only one) of the Windows 8.1 upgrade, which made most of my programs choke for the first few days (Trados could only be run in administrator mode for instance) - almost 2 weeks later, most of those problems have been solved, however, today I attempted to open a package in Trados (I have translated single files before -without problems) and I keep getting the error message "Could not find a part of the path E:\.............."

Has anybody else encountered this problem and found out how to solve it? A this point it seems like my best option would be to reinstall Trados on my old laptop that runs Windows XP, but that is surely just a temporary patch since it will no longer be supported in just a few months.

Hi Hege,

I am experiencing the same problem now. Since you experienced it quite a while ago, I'm hoping you've got a solution.

I wish I could tell you how I solved it Mar 8, 2014

but Windows 8.1 created incompatibility issues on so many levels, that my laptop at a certain point restored the whole system to Windows 8. I had been told by several IT-people this was impossible, yet, the system restored itself in this way, all by itself.
It took about a week and intense use of the Windows 8.1 trouble shouter for incompatibility issues, but I can't tell you what exactly triggered this reaction.

Large project lost using this solution! Aug 3, 2015

I just tried this solution and the 30,000 word project I am halfway through has disappeared! I tried renaming the file back again and didn't get the project back.
