Hi! I'm very new to the program and just learning to use it, so it might be just an issue i haven't noticed but any help is welcome.

When you select or create a TM or do any other setting in Wordfast, Wordfast asks you if you want to save your settings in "wordfast.ini".

Try also to reorganise the TM (button REORGANISE in the TM windows, after selectiig the "TM ACTIVE" box). I have run Wordfast - free version - on many projects and it's ok. The only limitation is the size of the TM (500 TU I think). | | | Yep Local time: 14:38 English TOPIC STARTER Nothing changed:( | May 20, 2007 |
Hi again! Thank you so much for your help, i tried everything but the program still says no TM selected. I'm completely out of ideas because i really did think that perhaps ZoneAlarm is blocking something but this time it's not that either! However, i'm not using Vista, i have Windows XP.
