Yes 8.0 is an old version, but in this instance I would use
what is bundled with the program. There have been a lot of
changes between 8.0 and 8.3 and chances are the application
will have problems with them. So first get rid of 8.3 and
reinstall the bundled app/db. Try to connect and if not
successful post the error messages here.
