MobiDeDRM - unlocked books hanging on PalmTX

I am running Python 2.6.5 & have successfully used MobiDeDRM to unlock several amazon purchased books & read them on my PalmTX (Using MobiReader 5.3)

The latest batch of 5 books I purchased from Amazon appear to unlock ok, I can open them on the palm, however 3 out of 5 hang after about a minute of the file being open. This happens even if I open the file and dive into the middle of the book.

I have tried reconverting several times, however get the same problem.

Has anyone hit this before?
Are there any programs that could tidy up a malformed mobi file?
Any ideas?

Many thanks
Chris

I suspect that this might be the age of the Mobipocket reader on your Palm. Perhaps doing a Mobi-Mobi conversion with Calibre will do the trick.

Many thanks for your assistance.
I downloaded Calibre and tried a Mobi to Mobi conversion.
It identified a Mobi corruption, then died :-(
I have logged a query on the Calibre

Have a great day!

EDIT:
Tried reinstalling the ModiDeDRM and that appears to now work correctly.
I think I had multiple versions on the py file in the same directory and something got messed up :-)

On to happy reading!!!! :-) :-)
