Hello to everybody!
I was wondering whether someone had encountered the same problem after copying the TM in another place.
The matter is that I had to replace the HD, so I was forced to work on another PC. I first copied the TMs on a flash memory, and I was not able to add it as a project memory (message: Unable to open the file, even though the memory seemed to have the same amount of MBs.

I was wondering whether someone had encountered the same problem after copying the TM in another place.

I first copied the TMs on a flash memory, and I was not able to add it as a project memory (message: Unable to open the file, even though the memory seemed to have the same amount of MBs. Then I tried to open it from my original HD, and the attempt was successful. Now, I backuped all the files from my old HD to the new HD, and I'm still not able to add the TM from the new disk, only from the old one. I even replaced the TMs to the same folder on the new disk, but nothing to do.
I had to create a new TM and import the old TM, and the new memory is as twice as large as the old one and seems incomplete, even though the import process was successful.
I would like to know if there's a way to retrieve the original TM and why it's not possible to add it from another medium.
Thanks!

To repair a translation memory using DVX3, you go to File > Tools > Repair > Translation Memory and select the .dvmdb file that corresponds to the translation memory yo...

Hi Giovanna,
I assume it happens when you open a project. Please go to project settings and relink the TM and TD.
