version numbers! playback/database machine says 2.10.3 laptop says 2.15.1
This is my own doing, I was prompted to do the graphical update tool on the laptop and I said yes like a dummy. So... I'm kind of hoping I can do the same thing with the playback/database machine and get them at the same version. I'm feeling much better about my situation. I was in a bit of a panic when I couldn't bring up RDLibrary on the playback machine!
