I am an experienced user of Wordfast Pro3, which has worked very well in the past, but is unstable with my new system (Win 10 Pro).

I really need this to work. I already had to get one deadline extended.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what the problem is? Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance,
Graeme

Hi Graeme,

Sorry you are facing this issue.
Can you email me at [email protected] so I can check what's going on with your WFP 5 and saving target files.

Thank you,

John
