Sony PRS-505 freeze after USB cable diconnect

Hello reader friends,

Allow me to send you my first post and a big hello to everyone here at the MobileRead Forums. I would like to ask you a question about the Sony PRS-505 Reader?

I have got the reader a couple days ago and I'm quite happy using it. Until recently I have used a XDA II PDA with the Haali Reader which was very practical, but the screen size was always a draw back, but generally it was ok.

My question is based on the transfer of books from the PC to the Reader. I have done it a couple times and it worked alright for a while; Unfortunately the reader is now freezing up after the cable is disconnected.

The reader is also not recognized any more with the Sony Book Software (shows Error). I can transfer books with Calibre and it works alright, (it sees the readers memory) but I soon as I unplug the reader it freeze up and only a reset will to the trick.

The battery is fully charged up and the reader is normally disconnected via the icon (I'm using XP). PS: The reader works perfect when it is unplugged.

Setup: Sony PRS-505, Version 1.1.00.18040

Does anyone have similar experiences, and maybe knows how to fix the freezing after the disconnect (including the "Error" connection with the Sony Book Software)

Thank you very much for your great support and many greetings from New Zealand
