DragDrop error: SDL Trados 2009 Studio fails to open

Hello everyone,
Well, after having some practices and lessons, I am now using SDL Trados 2009 for the first time on a project and everything was going smoothly, until a while ago.

For some reason, a while ago when I went to the Projects tab, I couldn't open my Project and could not access the files.
After that, whenever I try to open SDL Trados 2009 Studio, it doesn't open and gives me a DragDrop error message: "UltraDockManager - DragDrop disabled

The 'AllowDrop' property is set to true but the ApartmentState of the current thread does not support drag drop. To disable drag drop functionality set the 'AllowDrop' property to false. To enable drag drop functionality you must set the ApartmentState of the thread to STAThread. This can also be accomplished by putting the [STAThread] attribute on your 'Main' method."

After that another message appears which lets me "Continue" or "Exit", making it possible to save the error details, but either options do not make SDL Trados open, which is becoming a major asset for my deadline and productivity.

Can anybody help with this issue, or recommend me any reading for this problem? Should the complete error report be needed, please tell me.

Thank you.

This error does not come from Studio... Sep 5, 2011

It is WinDockManager/UltraDockManager, you can find it listed here: http://help.infragistics.com/Help/NetAdvantage/WinForms/2011.1/CLR2.0/html/WinDockManager_Resource_Strings.html

Could you check your running processes, if any there is any WindDockManager running?
I must admit, that I was not able to find a connection between Studio and that one.
It might however be connected to the .NET environment, which Studio utillizes.

Not finding Sep 5, 2011

I am not finding any process with any of those names.
Should a .NET framework update be of help?

Could you please try a repair installation of Studio? Sep 5, 2011

Or just install it again, without uninstalling anything.
Sorry, I've never seen such error before.
Let's hope Paul or someone else from SDL Support will read this here.
