New guy just starting out

I'm new and have zero experience coding, however browsing the site I see that shouldn't be an issue. I'm excited to try and learn though. While walking through the manual, I keep getting an error that says "Documents\Arduino\libraries\ReefAngel/ReefAngel.cpp:2067: undefined reference to `MenuEntry4()'" I've read that sometimes I need to upload several times, I've been trying for 1/2 hour though. The display says, "Memory Updated You can now upload your INO code" What's the deal-eo? Thanks in advance.

You clicked "Custom Menu" under features tab on RAGen.
Pick the "Simple Menu" instead

Since my computer died, I'm borrowing one to fix my RA. The problem is that the RA installer won't install. Keeps saying something about it can't read the original file. Also downloaded the wifi utility again, it won't connect to the wifi attachment though.

That looks like your browser is not completing the download.
The .part extension indicates a partially downloaded file.
The file is somewhat big. It's about 53MB.

My computer is still broken, but I have my phone. Why did nothing happen when my tank overheat? I set the overheat temp to 83°, it was 85°during the night and sitting at 83.4° now. Why didn't my lights shut off? More importantly why do my lights want to turn in now? They're not set to turn on until 1810.

The controller will only turn off stuff if you set it up to turn off.
You need to setup which ports to turn off in case of overheat.
Can I see your code?

I'm not able to plug it into a computer but if you have a way to see my code from online, then go ahead.

There is no way to read the code inside the controller.
Once it is uploaded, it gets compiled, which is similar to translating to computer language and can't be reverted back anymore.

One more issue, my controller frequently freezes up. As in, won't respond to physical or WiFi commands. The only way to fix this is to unplug it then plug it back in. I have no way of messing with code currently, so I know I haven't changed anything. As idea as to what's happening or how to fix it? The physically resetting the RA is not something I want to live with.

You will have to upload a new code with watchdog enabled to fix that.
