Howdy all,

I've had a look through the threads and while I can find many problems I couldn't find reference to mine - hopefully someone will be able to help.

I hadn't synched my PRS-505 for a while (since it all worked fine, just re-charged the battery). But I had a couple of new books so I started up the Library and was prompted to upgrade the library to 3.1.00.12040.

Which I did, seemingly successfully (i.e. the books are in the library, and I can preview them fine in the library).

Alas it all went wrong from there...

When I connect the PRS-505 it is recognised (Reader appears in the menu bar with expanding bar to books/audio/pictures/sync etc.) but alas when I try to synch the Status sits at "Processing" for many hours without anything visibly happening.

I tried a re-set of the reader, but other than all the books vanishing from the reader... no effect.

I have now tried it multiple time after many re-boots of the PC, still with no joy.

If it matters, the PC is Windows Vista 64 Professional.

Anyone have any ideas?

Franbo
