2. Click on "32bit ODBC".
3. Click on Race.
4. In the "Database File" field, change "Program Files" to "Arquivos De Programas".
5. Click on Options.
6. Click on OK (you don't change anything here, but it must be opened).

Second Solution

This solution has been known to work on systems where the destination directory is not "C:\Program Files\DVL Software Limited\The Racing System".  The solution is to move the race database to the expected directory.

1. Start Explorer
2. Create the directory "C:\Program Files\DVL Software Limited\The Racing System"
3. Locate Race.db on your system.
4. Move Race.db to the directory you created in step 2.
5. Start the application.
