Al a Mode let down

[Cob]

Maybe it's just me, I use a laptop that's not that old, but lately, maybe since Jan., Al a Mode software has become TOTAL GARBAGE, it is VERY glitchy and I am "An unexpected Error has occured" message when trying to do things, I have lost SO much time and $$$$ because of this CRAP software, I called today and I was #29 in line on hold, so it may not just be me having problems, but according to them, it's pretty much NEVER on their end.

The ONE thing that Al a Mode is GREAT with, is placing the blame on anyone or anything but them.

It is frustrating, but I’ve found so far that every time it says that (“error occurred”), merging data or whatever else I try and do still works, or have only lost a little times worth of work.

They certainly are going to have a tough time keeping whatever remaining appraisers that use them if this persists :/

I haven't used them for many years but I always had problems with stability. I usually couldn't go an entire day without the system locking up.

My experience with them is the opposite. I hardly ever had a problem with their software in all these years. But I use a desktop, and perhaps it is more stable there.

It's your computer.

Your computer might not be old, but you probably bought a cheap one with low specs. I have an older motherboard and processor but I still don't have any problems with Total other than it being noticeably slow.

Can you elaborate on what "not that old" means? I know some who think of a 5 year old computer as relatively new, and I know others who think a 2 year old computer is dated. How old is the laptop in question? And, as Joe noted, the specs matter too.

Older computers can have older software

Been getting alamode updates pretty frequently lately. Assume it has something to do with 3.6 so that could be part of it. Total Connect was slow for me until I got an update the other day and now it's fine.

I haven't had any problems, and I use Total on a virtual machine using an Apple laptop. It is the only program that I run on Windows. One of the reasons I did that is Windows was always glitchy for me. So when I only had one program on my windows side I never had issues. All my other programs I use are Apple IOS. That may not true now with Windows 11, but I'm not going to change and find out. I like Apple IOS too much.

You have NO IDEA what I use...........
