Installer for Reader
Hi,
Everytime I plug in my PSR-300, I get a pop-up for "Installer for Reader (K". As well, there is an autoplay for Removable Disk (J. The removable disk I can understand, but why would I be constantly asked about running an installer? That seems a bit messed up to me. Does this happen to other people? |

That happens to me all the time. I notice it happens every time I plug anything into the computer that's like an external hard drive - like an iPod, a USB key, an actual external hard drive, and now the Sony reader. I just X it out and close the window.

I get that all the time, too. Sony said to turn off auto play. But I can't find a way to do that just for the Reader.

Stop the process Reader Launcher and also remove it from starting up using msconfig.

Ok, my problem is similar. I use the Psr 300, my os is windows 7 (grrr) I never had a problem until today when I tried adding books.
I plugged my reader in and it just stayed on loading so i disconnected. When I turned it on, to look at my Ebook, all of my previous books vanished. I replugged it in and heard the noise but nothing came up. I followed multiple things such as Sony's faqs (hard reset, uninstall and reinstall, reformat, checked my msconfig, etc.) For some reason my Reader (g) and installer for reader (j) no longer appear. The red charge light does however. And since the hard reset, the plugin noise no longer does either. I do not remember needing a cd, i thought the ebook reader installed those programs by itself the first time i plugged it in. What I need is either the Installer for Reader (Not the Library program) or a way to make my own reappear. Any help would be greatly appreciated Also, I do not buy sony books due to my massive library of pdfs. would this program calibrate help that i've been hearing about?

Nevermind about my above problem. I fixed it. Let this be a lesson to computer program savvy people who are like me....after a hard reset, make sure you actually turn it back on and let it configure!!! God, I fail so much lol

Don't feel bad, Duespo. The first time I had to reset mine and it didn't come back, I freaked out! Big time!! I forgot to check the battery, and it was flat. Only worked after I carefully read the whole manual and saw this tiny phrase: "Make sure your PRS 505 is fully charged when..."
