Problem with new install of MS Reader any ideas?

AnemicOak · 01-17-2008, 09:16 PM

I installed XP on my new MacBook Pro (using Boot Camp) and one of the first things I did was install a copy of MS Reader (v 2.1.1) and activate it. Everything seemed to go fine.

I can download DRM'd books with it, but it will not display them. Usually when the book downloads it opens in the reader software. When I download with this new copy it opens & then immediatly closes. If I open the software myself the library displays, but no DRM books can be opened. When you try the software just closes itself. It shows as activated on the startup screen just like it should.

Non-DRM books open just fine.

Anyone had this happen before? Any solutions?

TIA

I guess this message can be disregarded. Everything seems to be working fine now.

How did you manage to fix the problem?

I didn't really. It just started working on its own. It was quite strange.

Yes, that is odd.
