Hi Guys! Thank you very much for your responses, however - they are chinese to me (computer illiterate). I have spoken to my aunt who is a silver surfer and she has connected and looked at your replies and 'No' I cannot navigate via windows? When I plug in my device via usb the following message comes up 'WINDOWS - NO DISC (with a big red cross)! Please insert a disc into the drive (followed by 4 rows of ?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ??????????????????????????????????????????)

I have used my Ereader successfully for 6 months and this only happened yesterday. I have installed, uninstalled, re-set the device and my aunt suggested that maybe my windows system files are corrupt?? (Whatever that means)?? My aunt also asked me if the Sony PRS-505 needs a 'driver' - don't know what that means either. Your messages are lovely, lovely, lovely and I am frustrated that I don't understand them.......Aarrghhhhhh! XXXX
PS. I am the 46 year old single mother of a severely handicapped child and I work 60 hours per week and when I am home to phone Sony - they are closed!!!!! Am desperate (violins out now - only joking)!!! I am humbled by your assistance and will be a big fan of forums in future and will stop waffling and get to the point!
