Hi all, Can anyone shed any light on this error message I'm getting in Studio please? My client sent me a package which I duly opened and began working on. So far so good. The word counts were off (showing minus figures) so I performed a Word Count batch task to try and correct them. After doing that I was unable to reopen the files getting the above error message.

Hi all, Can anyone shed any light on this error message I'm getting in Studio please? My client sent me a package which I duly opened and began working on. So far so good. The word counts were off (showing minus figures) so I performed a Word Count batch task to try and correct them. After doing that I was unable to reopen the files getting the above error message. "Value cannot be null. Parameter name: rootContainer" I was trying to open multiple files so I tried opening each one separately, same message. I tried opening files from other projects and they open fine, no error message at all. I was unable to open the xliffs at all. I then reopened the package and began working again with the files opening fine and the previously translated content still in the TM. I then made a change to some add-in settings that required a Studio restart to take effect. After restarting I had the same problem and error message with these files. I am still able to open files from other projects. After reloading the package and starting from scratch again 3 times, I wondered if there was a problem with the project package so I created a new project using the source files from the original one. Again, everything worked fine until I started translating them, closed them down and then tried to reopen them. Interestingly, they reopened several times fine before I translated any of the content when I tested. This is a fairly sizeable project so I really don't want to be starting from scratch every time I open the files. I've searched and searched but I can't find any info about this error. Not sure if this is helpful but the detailed error results read as follows:

Different error?
May 5, 2015
Hi Guillaume, Many thanks for your reply. The Knowledge Base article you referred me to seems to deal with a different error however (Value cannot be null. Parameter name: setup.LanguageDirection.TargetCulture). The parameter in the error message here is RootContainer. The target language is showing correctly as per the article you suggested.
I am still at a loss! Thanks anyway, it's looking like I'll just have to muddle through as I am. No word from my client on ... See more

I am still at a loss! Thanks anyway, it's looking like I'll just have to muddle through as I am. No word from my client on this either.
