memoQ 2015 and memoQ 8.2

Goodmorning.

I receive a General error which prevents me from opening any file on memoQ, either the active one I was working on or older files.

I opened a ticket with memoQ support yesterday and they told me to copy/paste the error message and send a log file (memoQLite.log), which I did but I didn't receive any more contact from them and I am still stuck with the issue, with my work lagging a lot.

memoQ 2015 and memoQ 8.2

Goodmorning.

I receive a General error which prevents me from opening any file on memoQ, either the active one I was working on or older files.

I opened a ticket with memoQ support yesterday and they told me to copy/paste the error message and send a log file (memoQLite.log), which I did but I didn't receive any more contact from them and I am still stuck with the issue, with my work lagging a lot.

I also downloaded the latest version 8.2 to see if I could overcome the problem but I am in the same situation no matter what.

I copy/paste here the error message I get as I have sent it to memoQ support. I don't know why I am not getting any answer from them. Maybe you can help me understand how to fix this one and resume my work.

Here follows my error message:

TYPE:
System.Exception

I also found this example in the Knowledge base. I tried with it but the problem still persists. Please see below:


Fix: In order to find the preferences-layout.xml, you must navigate to:
C:\Documents and Settings\yourprofilename\Application Data\MemoQ for Windows XP users,

or:

C:\Users\yourprofilename\AppData\Roaming\MemoQ for Vista and Windows 7 users.

Once you have found the files, delete them.

Thank you for any suggestion on you side.

Regards

Valeria

I've just had the same issue (and solved it, sort of) :) Mar 13, 2021

The same thing - "General Error" and unable to open a project when you on a tight deadline. No time to dive into the software guts, either.

The workaround, sort of - is to create a new project and during the "New project" Wizard - important! - link the new project to the same TM and TB you used in theprevious project, is the one you cannot open.

I was able to open the file and then used the old TMto fill in the translated segments. Worked for me, basically. Good luck, e
