i checked for updates so that i could pre-make a supply order for tomorrow & it said i had to restart p3 in order for the updates to take place. so i did. & now when i try to pull it up it says "an error has occured. please see the log file."

anyone had this happen that can give me a quick fix before i sit on hold with HO for hours?
 
Just close it and start it again. It's no biggie.Or call Tech Support. They answer pretty quickly.

i thought coming here first would get me the fastest answer. first thing i found on cc:

If you are getting a message that begins "An Error has occurred - see Log Files", please first make sure PamperedPartner® Plus is closed, then click the Manual Update link to the left, and select Run.

:) thanks though deb!!
 
do the manual update on CC ... i had the same problem today!
 
I ran into the same problem last night. It was taking forever to update my P3. So I finally just closed it out and went online and updated it.
 
So here is my problem....opened P3 yesterday and ran update. Also ran update for my laptop yesterday and now I cannot open p3!!! I have completely re-started my laptop at least 3 times! I open it and it takes FOREVER but never gets past initializing user before it disappears! When I try to open it, it says it is already running but I cannot see it anywhere! It is not open in the tool bar or anything! I am freaking out and of course my computer guy is overseas right now. So can anyone help????


TIA!
 
GO to CC and download the latest update from there. If that doesn't work then I'd call tech support on Monday. They will be able to make it work.
