MS Reader Hell
I have over 70 MS Reader books.
Some days it will let me read them, some days it won't. On the days it won't let me read them it tells me: "The digital software that protects this ebook has been updated. You must re-activate in order to open this title." I then go through a never ending cycle of trying to re-activate the damn thing. Until today -- I discovered that when my external USB drive is switched on I cannot access my Lit books. When it is switched off I can! But it will not let me activate with the External USB drive switched on. It's a b***** pain in the neck! |

Weird. Is your thumb drive running any file software, etc...? I know mine has a launcher and backup application that runs whenever I plug it in, maybe there is a conflict.

It's not a thumb drive.
It's an 80GB external USB hard drive. I only use it to store my own personal data. There are no software applications on it. |
