Many thanks for your reply. I thought I'd cracked it when I tried your suggestion.
Removing the Registry Key worked and I installed v.1.17 which then allowed me to sign in unhindered and displayed all books in the library. I un-checked the auto update box to retain the current version and checked in the newly created registry key for 'Amazon' that the auto-update flag was set to false.
I then closed v.1.17 down. About five minutes later I tried to open it again, but as soon as the program started to load it automatically went into auto update and installed v1.36 without waiting. When it loaded I checked and the auto update box in the software was still un-checked and the registry flag was still set to false.
I uninstalled, deleted the registry key and reinstalled v.1.17 which on first use performed perfectly...until I closed the software. On reloading the app it auto-updated to v.1.36.
The above seems to bear out what Amazon Support told me when I telephoned them when my account was locked-out previously. They said that their systems will now only accept the latest versions of their software and all other versions will be updated or or fail sign-in.
I can't see a way around this with any earlier versions which is a bit of a nuisance.
Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks for taking the time and effort to reply and for your suggestion.
