For the past 3 days everytime I try to open my software I get an error message. Go to Consultant's Corner, download the manual fix. Last night I had to do it 3 times before I could get it to work. Tonight I come home to enter another order on a show I need to turn in and I have the error message again. I have tried twice to download the fix and it just sits there and the progress bar on the download never moves. I have a real job so I have to go to bed and can't stay up all night and jack with this! I emailed tech support. I have an iPad I got so I could use the new website but since I am just a lowly consultant I don't have that yet!
 
Weird. Sorry to hear about your issues. Hope tech support can help.
 
Is anyone else having this issue?I have also been having issues with the software for about a week. I have noticed that there have been some updates to the software, but I am not sure if that has anything to do with the issue.I would recommend contacting tech support again and see if they can assist you further. It is possible that they may have a solution or be able to escalate the issue to their higher-ups for a quicker resolution. In the meantime, you could also try reinstalling the software or using a different computer to see if that helps.
 

1. How can I troubleshoot software issues on my own?

There are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot software issues on your own. First, try restarting the software or your computer. This can often resolve minor issues. If that doesn't work, check for any updates or patches for the software and make sure you have the latest version. You can also try clearing the cache or temporary files, as these can sometimes cause problems. If you're still having issues, you may need to consult a professional or contact the software's technical support team.

2. What should I do if my software is crashing or freezing?

If your software is crashing or freezing, the first thing to do is to try restarting your computer. If the problem persists, check for any updates or patches for the software and make sure you have the latest version. You can also try clearing the cache or temporary files. If the issue continues, it may be due to a conflict with another program or a hardware issue. Consider consulting a professional for further assistance.

3. How can I prevent software issues from occurring?

To prevent software issues, make sure you regularly update the software and your computer's operating system. This will ensure that you have the latest security patches and bug fixes. It's also important to regularly back up your files and data, in case of any unexpected problems. Additionally, be cautious when downloading new software or opening unfamiliar files, as they may contain viruses or malware that can cause issues.

4. What should I do if my software is running slowly?

If your software is running slowly, the first thing to do is to make sure your computer meets the minimum system requirements for the software. If it does, try closing any other programs or applications that may be running in the background and using up resources. You can also try clearing the cache or temporary files. If the issue persists, consider upgrading your computer's hardware or consulting a professional for further assistance.

5. What is the best way to contact technical support for software issues?

The best way to contact technical support for software issues will depend on the specific software and company. In most cases, you can find contact information and support options on the software's website or in the program itself. Some companies may have a support hotline or online chat option, while others may require you to submit a support ticket. Be sure to have your software's serial number or license key on hand when contacting technical support.
