Hi, I'm new to this forum and wondering if anyone can shed some light on the setup up trouble I'm having with my Kobo Touch.

Sorry, if this has already been covered before!!

Was given a KT for christmas (dec 2011), have never been able to set it up properly. Wouldn't move past step 1 ( keep asking me to connect KT to pc).

Somehow I managed to 'fluke' a partial setup and sync, so have been able to use my KT fine, though unable to sync via pc but sync via wireless instead.

Last week I installed ADE onto my computer as my public library now has ebooks available, which I wanted to download. I am unable to authorise my KT with ADE as the PC not recognising that my KT is connected.

Tried the usual, different ports, another usb cable, diff pc/laptop, uninstall & re-install of setup software onto pc, basic reset, factory reset etc. Device showing in device manager as working properly, no error messages.

PC shows a device in Drive F, but if I click on this I am asked to insert a disk or format the drive.

My KT when connected to pc, shows 'connected and charged. Please setup and register your ereader'. I can get into account settings, but it states I do not have a kobo a/c (which I do have), no wireless connection etc.

I now have no books on my KT except the previews that appeared after the factory reset, cannot load any on via usb or wireless, and therefore not able to use my KT untill the setup issues are resolved.

Sorry this post is SO long, just trying to convey all the steps I've taken to date.
Any suggestions anyone?

Have been in touch with kobo support, but no answers from them to date.
