PRS-600 Uninstall and reinstall reader software

Treefrog · 05-30-2011, 01:15 PM

Hello to All

I found on Mobile read instructions on how to uninstall and reinstall Sony reader software with Windows Vista. I am doing this to correct a sync problem and generally software not recognizing reader. Tried everthing else including sony. I cannot find one file to delete it is making me crazy it is
C:\ ProgramData\Marlin. If amyone has any idea at all it would be appreciate it. And !!!! is there the possibility I do not have it.

Thanks Treefrog

When I had to clear out all old entries to fix the same problem, not all of the files or directories were on my system (WinXP). It's possibly the same for you.

Do a search for "Marlin" from your C: drive. If you have the file or directory, search will find it.

I have Vista and use Sony Reader and do not have "Marlin" on my computer.

The left-behinds are in the \kinoma\ folders. - For Windows OS
No need to delete "Marlin", which might not exist at all.

Mac-User have to hunt for folder FSK

Hello to All

Thank you very much for replies and help. Did the uninstall reinstall works like a charm. Denied the new update simply because I believe you don't mess with success.. The old software doesn,t have the checkbox for launch in preferences. If anyone knows any help would be appreciated. Can I use msconfig startup to stop launch and sync ?

Thanks again Treefrog
