What I tried:

-doing everything with my Internet Security off
-reinstalling the .NET files
-refreshing templates in Word

What else should I try?
Thank you!

Which versions? Oct 17, 2007

Hi Elena,
Please help us to help you, as stated on the posting form for this forum:


When asking for help, make sure that you:
- indicate the file format(s) involved
- specify each software package that is relevant to your posting, identifying the version with the *full* version number

Given that a runtime error is involved, please also quote the JRE (Java Runtime Environment) version you're using. (You can find this in the Software panel of your system settings.)

Thanks, Ralf

Thank you Oct 17, 2007

Dear Ralf,
Thank you very much for your response! Sorry that I didn't mention the versions. I am using Windows XP, MS Office 2003, Trados 2007, Multiterm 7.
Since last night the situation changed slightly: now the Multiterm task bar and drop-down menues are showing in Word (still no drop-down menue for Trados though). But it still give me a run-time error (424 this time) when I try to select a termbase. "Term Recognition Options" in Tr. Workbench still won't let me pick Multiterm 7,

I am using Java 2 Runtime Environment, maybe I'll try reinstalling. Any other ideas?
Thank you!

Try deleting MultiTerm7dot.xml Oct 20, 2007

Go to
C:\Documents and Settings\[User Name]\Application Data\Trados\MultiTerm
and delete MultiTerm7dot.xml.

Sometimes this solves Word/MultiTerm interface problems. In any case, the xml file will regenerate itself.
HTH,
Sandra

Install MultiTerm 2007 Oct 26, 2007

I just managed to overcome the same issue.

It seems to me it rooted in the fact that I had installed Trados 2007, but still had the earlier MT version.

Uninstall MT and then install MT 2007. It will automatically migrate your termbases and projects, too.

Did you fix it? Oct 28, 2007

I have the same versions and the same problem.
The strangest thing is that it worked fine before. I tried reinstalling multiterm, which did not help at all.
Word does not crash here, however - I just cannot open any termbases at all.
I get en "unspecified error" just like you do.

Registering both applications Nov 17, 2007

I had the same problem (error -2147467259 when trying to switch on the terminology recognition in Trados Workbench). Re-registering both Multiterm and Trados solved the problem.

After that I first opened Multiterm and activated the term base and then Workbench and activated the term recognition. I am using SDL Trados 2007 with SDL Multiterm 2007 but I had the same problem once with one of the former Trados versions so this solution should not depend on the version.
