Hello.

So, it's been a couple months since I borrowed a library book, and when I opened Digital Editions the other day it told me that there was a new version out, and gave me the option of either upgrading or closing it. So I upgraded...and now it doesn't work. Originally I used it without a problem, but I can not get this to work, and I have a lovely library book waiting to be read and everything.

When I open Digital Editions, it tells me that it could not locate My Digital Editions Folder. Oddly enough, I can find the silly folder, but oh well. When I try to add a book via the Library, add item to library portion, when I click add book it tells me:
Error during recovery after failed manifest save.
Error deleting file: manifest.xml
Error detail: Error #2038

Then it will show me the book under the Library view, but won't actually open the book, nor will it even let me click on Reading view. If I close and open the program, the book dissapears. The program is also not showing my reader anymore when I plug it in, since I thought maybe I could just drag it over. Any suggestions?

Here's what I've tried so far:

Unintstalling and reinstalling digital editions
Uninstalling and reinstalling on C drive vs. G drive (My Digital Editions folder was on the G drive and I usually download there, but I figured I would give it a shot)
Upgrading to Adobe Reader 9.0 (and uninstalling and reinstalling DE under that)
Downgrading to Adobe Reader 7 (and uninstalling and reinstalling DE under that. Note: With this one I was at least able to read the books on the computer and they transfered to the reader via Calibre, but then I couldn't open them on the reader)
Going back to Adobe Reader 8 (and uninstalling and reinstalling DE under that again)
Moving the location of the My Digital Editions folder to the same folder as the program, and under documents, and manually trying to drag it where it into the DE
Crying angry frustrated obsenities at it

So...has anyone else had this problem, or have any idea how to fix it? I'm running Vista if that helps. I've tried looking on the adobe site but that hasn't helped either.

Thanks.
