Windows 7 And Sony Ebook Library

Iteria · 09-19-2009, 02:14 AM

I happened across a copy of Windows 7 from my school and I installed it. However, I can't get Sony's ebook library to work on it. It's weird because Digital editions run fine and its pretty much the first piece of software Ive run on Windows 7 that was incompatible with a piece of Windows Vista software. I don't really know what to do.

I know it's a long shot, but has anyone had any luck getting the ebook library to work on Win7? I really don't have anyone Windows OS to use and I kind of want to read the new book I bought.

Two things...

1. Set it to run in Windows XP compatible mode.

2. Make sure that it is set up in the DEP exclusion list. You can google to find out how to do this.

Thanks. Turning running the desktop shortcut in compatibility mode worked. Also it seems that Windows 7 automatically does DEP, unless you tell it not to.
