Problem authorizing a computer

[tptman99]

Currently, my computer is authorized without an ID.  I would like to authorized it with an Adobe ID, which I have, but when I try to do that, a screen pops up saying An Error Has Been Detected, Activation Server Error code E_AUTH_NOT_READY.  As I understand it, I must successfully complete this step before I can authorize an e reader device such as a nook or kindle and transfer borrowed books.  What do I need to do to fix this?

Please try the steps mentioned in Error "E_AUTH_NOT_READY" | Digital Editions

I found that file yesterday and it worked for me. Thanks.

Enter a name and location for the backup registry key, and then click Save.  I don't know what this means - name and location?  my name? what location?  thanks.

On Windows the easiest way to make a registry backup is to Create a restore point.

Unfortunately that is what started my whole mess!  I'd done a restore, ADE was removed along with other programs, and then when I restored it it would no longer accept my login, would not let me download OR return my books, on and on....

That is my problem. But there seems to be no where to get the next step.
