I can log into my account but my Sierra Charts are not opening. There is a green bar in the left corner that reads, DP: ST:0,0 DL: 0
I contacted TransAct and they say everything is good on their end.
My account is paid up until January 2022.

Restart Sierra Chart. And do not open any existing Chartbooks. Instead open a new chart through File >> Find Symbol. Does the chart open and does the chart data load?

The chart does open and the chart data does load. How do I get my charts to open? When I log in, all I get is one gray screen.

This is what appears in the Message Log. Why are my charts not opening on Startup?

When I open an existing Chartbook, 2 of the 6 charts open as I have them set but the other 4 charts open but not with my settings. Nothing is opening on Startup.

Use a backup Chartbook:

Okay but why do 4 of my 6 charts in the Backup Chartbook STILL do not have my settings? Why did I have to reenter all my Data/Trade Service Settings under Global Settings because they were all blank when I first logged on today?

Regarding post #8, and the Data/Trade Service Settings, you can restore those from the Accounts4.config file. Refer to:
Resetting Sierra Chart to a Default State / Restoring Backup Global Configuration File: Restoring Backup Global Configuration File

Why the issue happened we do not know but it is going to be an issue on your side relating to some operating system problem or you have deleted a configuration file.

Or it could be as explained here:
