Occasionally, you might run into a situation in which TOTAL doesn't open up like it usually does. If TOTAL fails to open and you aren't receiving any error messages, you might need to repair or replace some of TOTAL's program files. Follow the instructions below to learn how!
If you're on a networked installation, complete these steps on your Server.
- If you haven't already restarted your PC since the issue began, restart your machine before continuing.
- Go to https://www.alamode.com/tech/files/updates.exe. A file download should begin in your web browser automatically.
