ADE Immediate Crashes

[Guest]

ADE is driving me crazy - hoping you wonderful folk can help ........................

I've tried installing it 4 times now (uninstalling after each failed attempt). It appears to download fine, the installation appears to work fine, ADE fires up, and then when I click on anything it crashes (first click it crashes every time, and whatever the menu etc is that I click on). There's no real error message, just "ADE encountered a problem and needs to close" and it offers to send a report.

Other details:

- I'm running XP, and downloaded with Firefox 17

- I've never used ADE before

- I've also tried rebooting the PC in between install, to no avail

Anyone know what I can do to get a robust install so I can start downloading paid-for ebooks?

Many thanks!

I hope you get an answer I have the same problem with XP

I have seen a few issues with ADE 2.0 and reverted to the earlier 1.7.2.

I don't know if ADE2.0 has issues with XP, but it is worth trying 1.7.2 and seeing if it is any better for you..

Version 1.7.2 is a little difficult to find,

I found it for PC at http://www.tucows.com/preview/853736/Adobe-Digital-Edition-For-EBooks
