Have a problem! Installed libprs, didn't appear to be any problems. Program starts up fine but doesn't find my reader.
I've tried the following from the command line prs500 info It reports "Unable to find SONY Reader. Is it connected?" The Sony CONNECT software read/writes fine. For info I'm running WinXP Pro. Thanks, Jim |

Try uninstalling the connect USB driver first then re-installing libprs500. Note you only need to uninstall the driver not the full software.

Got libprs talking to my Reader
![]() I ended up having to 1. completely uninstall the Connect software 2. uninstall the libprs software 3. restart windows, 4. reinstall libprs 5. For windows to find the drivers I had to point to your \driver directory Then it worked. Also the instructions you give on the wiki don't match up after "Windows has found new hardware", that's where I had to go to your directory. Jim |

Kovid, Thanks for your help...and for authoring libprs.
Since I'm not planning on buying any "content" from Sony, I think I'll stay with libprs. Jim |

Well, it's pretty strange: libprs500 used to work fine and now I get the "Unable to find..." message too.
Connect Software still work though. I was trying to use libprs500 with an early version of our sync software for Feedbooks... |

I don't really understand why it stopped working though, I was already using this with a .bat file. It works fine with the alpha of our software: it downloaded and sent to the reader all of my subscriptions. |

Did it stop working after an update? I changed the way the driver is registered in windows a few weeks back.

That would be it. The old driver was designed to work on computers where the connect s/w was already installed. The new one works even if it isn't. Downside of that is that if the Connect software is already installed then windows needs to be told to use the libprs500 driver.

I can easily recreate the situation where libprs500 stopped working if you'd like to try a few stuff. |
