DragDrop error: SDL Trados 2009 Studio fails to open Thread poster: Ricardo Gouveia

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 'Allo... See more 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. ▲ Collapse

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.

For future reference, the situation was solved, thanks to Paul. Thank you.
SDL Trados 2009 opened again after deleting:
BaseSettings.xml
Plugincache.xml
UserSettings.xml
in
(Windows XP or older)C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\SDL\SDL Trados Studio\9.1.0.0
(Windows Vista or 7)C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\SDL\SDL Trados Studio\9.1.0.0\

| Further solution Trados Studio 2015 | Oct 14, 2016 |
Just to mention this, as someone might encounter the same problem still with Trados Studio 2015, as I did.
At first it didn't work to simply erase the mentioned files in single version folders under C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\SDL\SDL Trados Studio, but luckily I noticed that Trados Studio could still be opened from my Windows admin account.
Hence, after trying different options of minor scope, I ended up erasing all files (BaseSettings.xml, Plugincache.xml, User... See more Just to mention this, as someone might encounter the same problem still with Trados Studio 2015, as I did.

Hence, after trying different options of minor scope, I ended up erasing all files (BaseSettings.xml, Plugincache.xml, UserSettings.xml) in all folders (9.1.0.0 to 12.0.0.0) and then copied the corresponding files under C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming\SDL\SDL Trados Studio to the respective user location (see above), which solved the issue. (To be on the safe side, I had kept all erased files in the Windows 'waste basket', so I could restore in case this solution wouldn't work).
Not sure whether it's necessary to erase and copy all the files, but hope this might help others as well. ▲ Collapse
