1. On the workstation computer, press the Windows key + R on your keyboard.


2. Type "regedit" and click "OK".


3. Once the Registry Editor has been opened, proceed to the following directory: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Spiralsoft\Advantage\2004\General


NOTE: Making changes to the registry should be done with caution, as changing the wrong values could lead to the system becoming unstable and no longer functioning correctly. Please proceed with caution.


4. In the right-hand pane, double-click on "DataSource". Ensure that the name here is the same as the name of the server PC. Replace this name under "Value data" with either the name of the server or the server's IP address. Consequentially, ensure that the workstation and server are on the same network.



5. Once you have corrected and made sure that the DataSource (server's name) is correct and changed to the new name of the server, try opening the application again.
