I have just bought the reader from asia and got back home to Madrid only to find the Connect software won't initialize (error 0x000005). I am working with a Spanish OS (xp home). I have uninstalled and re installed. I have deleted all registry keys with "sony reader" then re installed, I have installed the updated version from sony. The same error. The reader won't connect either the hardware driver fails.(the option of unisnstalling everything that says "sony" isn't easy as I use a sony vaio laptop).
Does anyone know if the problem is:

a) me (i am simply being a complete muppet)
b) the Spanish OS
c) something else.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am trying to manage without it using a card reader but don't know what I am missing.
