Cant connect Viper Bot in Community or Chat room

I have Viper Bot installed with all the extra's to run properly, but whenever I leave my comm and chat rooms to bring Viper into them....I get this msg "your nickname is already in use"??

I have tried several times can someone help me with this?

Also, once Viper is in my chat room, can it keep the room open when I close the computer down?

Thanks,

Beb

i dont use viperbot any more so i cant answer your first question. in answer to your second question - if you shutdown your computer you're effectively leaving the room so if you were the only person in there then your chatroom will close. the same applies to mirc.
