Hi,
Massive issue with MultiTerm 2014. I installed Trados 2014, no problem , it is working perfectly fine. But MultiTerm is another story, I installed it, apparently set up was successful, I now have an icon on the desktop but seem to be unable to get it running. It just wouldn't start up. I uninstalled all the Java instances on my computer. Didn't work. I then uninstalled the MultiTerm, run registry cleaner, updated the computer, installed MultiTerm again... didn't work either, e...

I uninstalled all the Java instances on my computer. Didn't work. I then uninstalled the MultiTerm, run registry cleaner, updated the computer, installed MultiTerm again... didn't work either, even in the safe mode. Next I uninstalled Canon printer software, as it supposed to cause some incompatibility issue too. Still nothing.
Any suggestion on how to solve this problem would be much appreciated.

I have problem very like this. I have new Studio Desktop 2014, and new Multiterm Desktop 2014, running on Windows 7. Studio works OK, but when I open Multiterm it goes through all the motions of loading, and then closes itself instantly. I tried moving to an earlier version of Java and Multiterm stayed open but asked me to update my Java. I removed Java completely and it stayed open, but I dare say would not have worked.

Hi,
Has anyone managed to resolve this problem?
I upgraded from Studio 2009 to 2014 last night and am experiencing exactly the same issue as optophon. Multiterm appears to install successfully on Windows 7, but none of its components will start up.
I've tried jigging around with earlier Java versions and reinstalling/repairing Multiterm, but to no avail.
Any hints would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Sam

| Potential solution (if you have Canon printer software installed) | Jan 6, 2014 |
My Multiterm 2014 issues were resolved swiftly after I contacted SDL Support.
If you have Canon printer software installed on your PC, Multiterm will be installed incorrectly (due to a registration key error caused by Canon's software).
Just follow the simple steps outlined in this SDL knowledge base article: http://kb.sdl.com/#tab:homeTab:crumb:7:artId:3884

| For me it worked fine! | Feb 5, 2014 |
Hi Sam,
For me it worked fine, thanxalot! Although I did NOT uninstall all of Multiterm (I left 2009) as they say because it worked and I didn't want to lose ALL of it if it wouldn't have worked. Thus, I uninstalled all 2014 components, deleted the entries in the registry, re-installed Multiterm 2014 and ... it started!
Have a nice day,
Markus

Hi Markus,
I'm glad to hear that worked for you too.
Yes, you're absolutely right, you only need to uninstall the MultiTerm version that isn't working - in our case, MT 2014 (the SDL knowledge base article is a bit ambiguous in that respect). I also left MT 2009 untouched, as it was working fine on my PC.
Thanks and all the best,
Sam

Thank you for your answer.
I could reach the "uninstall" folder, but it has again around 25 folders inside, and I don't know how to find the good files to delete...

You will notice that after installing Multiterm, a canon folder is created in the Program folder. Copy all the files inside it and transfer them to the MulTerm11 folder (SDL\SDL MultiTerm\MultiTerm11. This happens even after unistalling the Canon printer.
Now go to Start and find the Multiterm program. Right click on it and click on properties. You will see that the path given for the multiTerm.exe file is via the canon pathway. Change the pathway to SDL\SDL MultiTerm\MultiTerm11.

The folder I have under "CurrentVersion" is just "Explorer\Browser Helper Objects"
Any sugestions, please?
Thank you,

Hi, I tried this method because it seemed a lot easier. I managed to copy the folder in MultiTerm11 and then change the path. Now when I click on the Trados program icon it seems to begin to loading the program, but then still nothing. But it's already a step ahead, because earlier it did not even start "thinking" to load the program, so I hope it'll work if I reboot the computer...
