*sigh* another problem--reader won't let me go anywhere

I have a 900, computer is Windows XP.

I have downloaded some books (YEAH ) from manybooks.com, got some classics I have been wanting to read plus some others. Used Calibre to download the books.

Finished reading one last night, went back to home page and browsed through Calibre's start guide and then turned it off.
Now, this morning when I clicked it on it won't let me go anywhere, including going to setting.

There is on the screen the picture of a book open and the statement continue reading. Then it shows the words Calibre quick start guide and a "book". Below that is the symbol of books on a shelf. First row is the book I had finished reading, the calibre book and another book; next row is periodicals, collections and add notes. It shows at the bottom the little house for home, store collections and setting. No matter what I touch with stylus it shows-- from the first row, third icon, a book from the library and it keeps showing the same book, it darkened it, then reshows it, over and over and . . .

Not sure if this is any help, but what I did on downloading books was at the site click on download and ePub. They showed up on my desktop. Then I dragged them to the calibre icon; it showed it was downloaded, then showed them on a list of books on the calibre. Plugged in the USB cord, highlighted the books and went to send to reader, clicked on it and away the books went; showing up on the home page of ereader. Was going to figure out how to do the organization at a later date, wanted to read a book and see how it went. It does let me open options, but only shows the orientation and doesn't let me chang that.

Now what? Still having problems with the Sony reader on my computer. I will update that in that thread.
