VROC Problemo

here's my problem: When I try to join the races there, it says Error: Address Book Backup Exists! I don't know what to do, since I tried rebooting and deleting everything from the GPL address book, but nothing seems to work. Anybody know what the problem is??? Thanks in advance -Joel Likness

VROC creates a backup of your own address book, before creating a new one with the VROC entry. On completion it puts your backup file back as the address.ini file If your system crashes or similar & VROC cannot rename the file , the backup will remain, hence the error. You need to delete this file. I can't remember the name but I believe it should be easy to find in your GPL folder. Cheers Tony

Can't remember the name either but procedure is described on VROC page in the trouble shooting section or help >VROC creates a backup of your own address book, before creating a new one >with the VROC entry. >On completion it puts your backup file back as the address.ini file >If your system crashes or similar & VROC cannot rename the file , the backup

The "Help" link on the VROC site explains what to do!

When racing GPL on-line vroc (or gpl?) creates a temp file of the IP addresses in the GPL directory, and if you don't disconnect from GPL properly (eg:- if your pc crashes) the next time you try to race on-line you get an address book error. I eventually found a help file on vroc which explained this, and it tells you to delete or rename the appropriate file, and all is well again. you should have an "address.ini" and also an "address.vro" file in your gpl directory. You need to delete the address.vro file (but if you want to keep the ip address(s) it contains, rename it to something else or copy if somewhere else so you can add the ip address to your address.ini file) 8-) *Peter* #:-)

Go to your GPL directory, delete address.ini rename address.vro to address.ini That's it Ian
