2. Otherwise you can use more tricky approach. Find MemoQ system directory and your old project in it (name of subdirectory with projects depends on MemoQ version and can be 'Projects', "My Memoq projects', etc.). You need the file DocumentData.sdf, it contains your translation. Copy it to safe place. Create in new MemoQ new project for this job. Exit MemoQ and replace DocumentData.sdf file in the new project directory with the old version of this file (copied from your previous project). Start MemoQ (keep your fingers crossed). [/quote]
If you have the original installer file, after performing the above steps to protect your data, you could try uninstalling/reinstalling MemoQ, which could repair the installation. I think installer files may also be available for download from MemoQ's site.
Alternatively, if the problem was caused by the sudden shutdown, using System Restore to restore the computer to a point prior to the shutdown may fix the problem.
