Hi,

I'm not sure if this is the best place to post this problem so please move it if I'm wrong.

My computer running Windows XP died unexpectedly and I just got a replacement running Windows Vista. I downloaded MS Reader and activated it. I then downloaded 3 recently purchased books in secure MS Reader format from Fictionwise as well as 1 DRM free MS Reader book. All the books downloaded to the computer. The DRM free book opens fine in MS Reader. The secure books are showing in the MS Reader library when I open the software but they won't open. No matter which one I click on I just get the Vista spinning circle that indicates it's trying to do something. It just gets hung up and I end up closing MS Reader after about 15 minutes.

I want to get these converted to a format I can use with my Sony Reader but I need one to open so I can get the conversion software to work.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks.
