How to stop Sony eReader software staring
Hi all,
I have a PRS-600 love it to bits, apart from one thing. I use the Calibre software for syncing up as it will do daily news papers. A vast improvement on the Sony supplied stuff. My problem is I don't want to un-install the Sony software but i also don't want it to automatically start up every time I connect the eReader. It doesn't appear to be in the Auto Run settings of Vista so I'm a bit stumped, can anyone point me in the right direction? I want to plug the thing in and manually start up the software i want to use. Thanks |

Hi there,
I don't think there is a really easy way but this other thread may prove useful: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=59703 welcome to mobileread |

Thanks
A great thread......
In summary I used msconfig to disable the "helper" program. I dont like it when these software companies add "helper" programs without specific permission. Again, thanks for your quick reply Martin |
