I finally removed the program, downloaded again and it worked.  Then I was able to restore the clients that were already completed or in process.  Thanks for all the help.

Did you update today?  I wonder if the Update Repair tool and then downloading he updates refresh would help at all.

My program automatically updates every day. If I can't get into the program how can I update or use update repair tool?

Thanks. I just got off the phone after 3 hours, 1 hour waiting and 2 hours talking to tech support.  He was unable to solve my problem.  We did get the program to open in safe mode but not in the regular mode.  I just did the repair updates you suggested and now when I try to sign in I get the message "Server busy.  This action cannot be completed because the other program is busy.  Choose Switch to activate the busy program and correct the problem."  When I click Switch to all it does is bring up the left screen with all my programs.  I am beyond frustrated.  Any other suggestions?  Thanks so much.

Dear Just-Lisa-Now, 

We've never met but I owe you tonight's sanity as you really saved my a**.  Was unable to login into the program after installing an update earlier this evening.  With one remaining corp return to file, I was near panic stricken, as Intuit wouldn't sign me into the Community Q&A either for some reason.  Anyway, long story longer - I saw your advice regarding Tools - Repair Updates, and - after about a half hour of updating etc - wallah: the program remembered my p.w. and let me in.  Returns filed - nobody died or even got hurt............Thank you so much !
