Connect Reader Crashing- won't start
I just bought my reader today and the Connect software worked fine with moving books onto my reader- until i tried to import a folder with 1GB of books. My connect software crashed and when i uninstall the program, restart the computer, and reinstall the program the program does not start up, but crashes. I'm using xp sp2, all updates. I even ran a system restore point from yesterday from before the connect program was installed and it still does not work. My reader is not plugged into the computer. After uninstalling i even tried:
4) Right-click on “C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\kinoma” and select “delete” 5) Right-click on “C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Marlin” and select “delete” 6) Right-click on "C:\Documents and Settings\Personal User Profile [i.e., your user name for Windows, e.g., jsmith]\Local Settings\Application Data\kinoma" and select “delete” But this did not work. This is the error message in the App log: Event Type: Error Event Source: Application Error Event Category: None Event ID: 1000 Date: 1/29/2007 Time: 10:00:43 PM User: N/A Description: Faulting application connect reader.exe, version 1.0.0.0, faulting module xdball.dll, version 0.0.0.0, fault address 0x000060e4.

Any help would be great. I'm going to call sony tomorrow. |

Just a guess, but it seems the error occurs in xdbAll.dll, which, from just looking at it, seems to be responsible for the database file. Perhaps your database is corrupted?
Try to delete "C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Application Data\Sony Corporation\CONNECT Reader". |

I have the same problem that the reader will not start and there is the circle with the line displayed on the reader all of the time.
I have tried to remove the old reader program and install new but, I cannot remove the program because it says it is being used or the file location is not valid. When I try to delete Kinoma or CONNECT Reader it says the program is in use and cannot be removed. I am stuck on this one little thing before I can proceed and remove the stuff I need to, re-install the reader software and get moving again. Any help would be greatly appreciated! |
