If you use the full version of Adobe Reader 7.0 you should be able to use it to read your DRM books (assuming you have activated your computer through Adobe's website). DE is not required, but it is often the default reader nowadays for PDF books. You'll need to completely uninstall DE from your computer first and then you should check to make sure the PDF file association is set to Adobe Reader. You can see what Fictionwise says about this here:
