Hi!

I saved and closed Trados (2015) to do a backup of the files to my USB but I was unlucky and Windows stopped working just when I had closed the program. I restarted but now I can't open my project!! The system failure happened just BEFORE I wanted to to a backup of two days' work so I really need to recover the files.

Now, when I try to open my Trados project I get the following error message and the project doesn't open (it has also been removed from the list of projects):

Contacting SDL support team directly Sep 2, 2015

seems to be a better idea as your problem is a rather specific one.

I hope it resolves quickly.
