Help!

Working on big file in MemoQ when computer crashed.

Help!

Working on big file in MemoQ when computer crashed. After rebooting Windows (and I have repeated this a number of times), the programme refuses to open the project I was working on, and I get the error message shown below. Thought I would try creating a new project with the source file and then apply the TM I was using on the project I can't open, but it won't let me create a new project either. It won't even let me open old projects, let alone the one I was working on when the PC crashed. As luck would have it, the file is big, and the deadline is tomorrow. To say that any help would be appreciated is an understatement.

The error message:

Backing up and then reinstalling may help Mar 4, 2010

Hi Simon,

not quite sure, but it seems to be a deep problem in MQ files because of the system crash.

Another possibility, are you using a floating license received from the client, then try to re-register your version.

Otherwise one could rather re-install MemoQ completely. This should restore MemoQ as it was before the crash, and then add your backuped TMs.

Hopefully this would be helpful.

Thanks and regards
