I can log on to Sony Store, but I can't access the Store
This happened suddenly. Perhaps related to this problem (?) is when I updated my Windows Live Messenger - but I'm not certain.
I live in Peru, but I have a U.S. Credit card. As far as Sony is concerned, I'm visiting Peru and I brought my computer along with me. I haven't had any problems in buying books on my current U.S. credit card. I maintain a U.S. address. As recommended, I changed the settings on Explorer, etc. That didn't work. The following was then suggested - that I should uninstall the Ebook Library, and then do this: Please delete the following folders: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Kinoma C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Marlin C:\Documents and Settings\[your user name]\Local Settings\Application Data\kinoma C:\Documents and Settings\[your user name]\Local Settings\Application Data\Sony Corporation C:\Program Files\Sony\eBook Library Then I should reinstall the Library. Has anyone done this with success? Do I need to de-authorize my Reader first? Are there any particular problems? Did this SOLVE the problem for anyone? I haven't changed internet providers, or anything like that. Any helpful suggestions? Don |

I'd suspect some sort of network proxy/firewall issue, as it seems prone to stopping working due to that sort of thing...

I did recently perform a massive Windows Update on my Windows XP system and I can still access the Sony store via eBook Library no problem.

I have two choices, I feel, before and until I am forced to do a complete uninstall:
1) I have an older backup of my current hard drive on another drive. If I can access the Sony Store with the backup, then the problem is definitely has something to do on my current drive. 2) I can delete ONLY those four folders and then copy/paste from my backup drive to the current drive. Don |
