I'm trying to get ConvertLIT to work to strip DRM off LIT files, so I can buy some and use them on my Sony. But I'm getting nowhere and I can't work out why.

I've downloaded a test DRMd LIT from Fictionwise (they provide one for free) and I've activated MS Reader downloaded from MS. So far, so good, it reads fine on the PC.

I have clit18.zip, and that contains ReaderKeyRecoveryTool.exe which I need to run first to get my key(s) out of MS Reader. Fine.

First problem was I kept getting an "Invalid HOOK.DLL" message. I finally traced that down to the fact there was a completely different hook.dll in my windows\system32 directory which was presumably taking precedence over the one supplied with clit18.zip - I renamed this for the time being, and got further.

I am now stuck with every time I run ReaderKeyRecoveryTool.exe and hit "Get Key" I get an error:

Remote Error: ResumeThread for d0 failed (2).
Error Code: 0
The operation completed successfully.
Error while launching MSREADER.

And all I end up with is an empty keys.txt file.

I've tried it with MS Reader already running and not running - same error.
I've tried adding the path to MS Reader to my main path just in case. No joy.
I've tried copying ReaderKeyRecoveryTool.exe and hook.dll to the MS Reader install directory and running it there. No joy.
I've tried it on a second PC. No joy.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling MS Reader. No joy.

Help!

I was wondering if it is a new version of MS Reader that is causing this, but the download page says it hasn't been updated since May 19, 2005, so I don't think that is it. (The install I have is MSReaderSetupUSA.exe and is version 2.11.15.0 if anyone can compare to theirs).

I'm out of ideas. I did try clit15.zip, but that does a similar thing - the error on the command line is

ResumeThread for 1964 failed (2).
