Hello,

I have been using my SDL Trados (2011 studio version) for over 2 years now, and I have many projects completed with it.
I am experiencing laptop issues, and I had to restart it. When I launched SDL to get back to the project I am currently working on, it gives me the 'Getting started' wizard / assistant, as if it is the very first time I am using my software!

Hello,

I have been using my SDL Trados (2011 studio version) for over 2 years now, and I have many projects completed with it.
I am experiencing laptop issues, and I had to restart it. When I launched SDL to get back to the project I am currently working on, it gives me the 'Getting started' wizard / assistant, as if it is the very first time I am using my software!

I am afraid to follow this configuration window because I fear I might lose any previous / current work, but I can't seem to avoid it. I tried opening the file from the folder (.sdlproj file), but still no success, as I am taken to the Getting Started / configuration for first time use page....

Anyone experience this as well int he past? What shall I do? Will I lose work, if I do all the first-time steps?

Thank you!!!!

You won't lose your work... Mar 12, 2015

... unless the laptop problems you experienced also deleted them from your Documents folder. If you go through the setup you should then be able to add your projects back in again, if they are not there automatically, by using the Open Project command to open the sdlproj files one by one.

Thank you for your swift response PAUL!
Unfortunately.... after a second Restart of my computer, SDL does indeed open but all projects have disappeared from the SDL window. The files themselves seem to have remained into the folders, but I can't open the project I was working on and I get an ERROR stating the following:

... is the operating system and the file format is Word (.docx). All projects have disappeared from the SDL window but not from their folders, so they are not lost. I just can't open them anymore, even when I double click the project file in Explorer.

Thanks for your help Guillaume.
