 pop up window at the start of it:
 {{{
 __Attribute table manager error__

 (X) Unable to determine default DB connection settings. Please define DB
 connection using db.connect module.
 }}}

 that error comes from gui/wxpython/gui_modules/dbm.py after running
 `db.connect -p` if driver: or database: has no value.

 What does `db.connect -p` say from the MSys command line? (or from the
 Cmd> prompt)


 does the drosmins mapset have a valid VAR file in it?
 (we are reading a vector+table from another mapset in this example, so I'm
 not sure how useful what db.connect tells us is going to be, but...)


 do you see the same error if you g.copy the vector into the current mapset
 first?


 following the same actions work for me in Windows XP.

 ps- your English is really fine, the problem is that there are twenty ways
 for the common commands to be called as part of different work-flow areas,
 so knowing which one it is takes a lot of describing. the video was super
 clear, thanks.
