When starting Microsoft Groove 2007 workspace, I get the following error:
Error opening binary file store database.
I'm trying to run my MS Groove workspace from MS Groove 2010. How can I resolve the issue? Right now my temporary solution is be to close MS Groove using Task Manager and start all over again. But this gets a bit annoying because I need to do this from time to time.
What is the permanent solution for this problem I'm having?
