Reader library installs but won't start

alexbush · 01-09-2010, 09:48 AM

After several atempts, got the lbrary software installed (turned off virus checker and downloaded new version of library). However, it won't run! Task manager reports the reader.exe process running and taking about 85k of memory but nothing on screen or in task bar.

Any help gratefully received

Have you tried un-installing it and installing it again? It could be that there is a bug in the installed version due to your other attempts to install the version that came with the ereader.
I had problems loading the library from my touch and had to download the newest version from Sony, but didn't have a problem then. However I have since used Calibre, which in my view is much better, especially as it will convert books on the fly rather than having to use a converter as you would have to do with the Sony software.
