ElsieC,

sounds like a corrupted filesystem on IM (Internal Memory - the removeable drive named "READER")

I suggest to do a hard-rest (see: https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Sony...der#Hard_Reset)
But this will wipe all files from the reader.

To save your files you can try to, reset the reader by pressing the reset-button with a paperclip, slide the power-switch and immediately connect the USB-cord.

Reader should start up in data-transfer-mode so that you can save your files.
(With PRS+ installed this will be "Safe-Mode". Not loading PRS+ after disconnect form USB, so you will have standard Sony UI)

BTW:
Quote:
At first I thought that meant to copy the folder PRSPInstaller from my PC hard drive to the 505.
This should be perfectly fine.

And after applying the "Uninstaller" your reader will have the 1.0.0.18040 fw, so a new attempt to install PRS+, after formating IM, should work.

HTH
Mark
