Hello everyone
A client sent me an alignment checking job, i.e. I have to open a bunch of SDLALIGN files and check that they're aligned correctly. I was able to open and check 3 files, but then Trados started giving me the following error message when I try to open such a file:
In addition, I'm then unable to close Trados (I get the "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" error message), so then I have to use a task manager app to close Trados.
Rebooting the computer doesn't fix this -- I'm now unable to open any SDLALIGN files, even ones that I have previously been able to open.
Got any ideas? Trados 2022, Windows 10

I could not say what exactly is wrong, but you may want to try repairing the installation. Some setting has clearly been upset. Also, just in case, you may want to run a deep virus check on your system, in case you have got some malware into your system for some reason.
And perhaps you may want to check that the job was legitimate? It could happen that it was not your client who sent the files, but some fraud. Just a thought.

I have never seen this error message before, but knowing Trados Studio I would consider it a possibility that there is a problem with the source files that cannot be solved within Studio, but only within the original files. Unfortunately, it's impossible to really tell if this is indeed the case without actually having access to the source files.
