Hi angie,

Two things come to mind – firstly, if you haven’t played with the ini file, the default period between VRDB updates is 3 weeks. So obviously a week with no sign of activity is quite normal.

Any chance you (maybe accidently) “merged” it with the main icon? There’s an option to do that – right-click the main icon and see if there’s a VRDB entry in the menu there. If that’s the case, there’s also an option to split it back out to a separate icon.

Keep in mind that even if they’re merged, the VRDB icon will still appear separately temporarily while it’s actively working on generating a fresh VRDB, similar to the way you get a temporary mail-checking icon.

Best,
Mike
