I am no computer expert by any means but I have a theory what happened. BTW - my problem seems to be resolved due to Jim's assistance...results posted in other thread. Anyway, I seem to remember that as I was activating/authorizing my wife's new ereader with Sony, thay had completely changed their book formats and I was told I had to redownload them in ePub format and then get an AdobeID before I could authenticate. This was all new to me but I believe the Sony software had created an AdobeID in the background even though I had gone to Adobe's site and logged in there. Somehow, I think the Sony site thought there were two seperate account (there weren't) so it kept telling me that my PC was authorized to another account (the silent one created by the Sony software??) so I re authorized each time I logged in not knowing that I was spending my activations...thus the problem. Jim got it straightened out and I authorized the PC thru ADE and later the Sony store recognized my PC and I think the problem is solved.
