Sony 500 reader and win 7

Aprilbeginnings · 10-20-2010, 03:49 PM

Hi, it's been ages since I have been here. Have another new computer and this time it is win 7. doing some searching for the reader connect software I did get the software for win 7 but read that nothing will work and I have to send the unit in for a firmware update? is this true, is there a work around? I didn't buy books, but just installed things I found from the net to the reader. I am not thrilled if I have to send this unit off for a fix.

Thanks for any help.

Ps. It's the 64 bit win 7. not 32.

Wow, I am really surprised that one of the techy guys couldn't tell me if I could still use the software to just install some books on the reader, or go into windows and tell it to run like it was Vista or something. I didn't just want to jump into trying it if it would mess things up
