Adobe Digital editions- stopped working error

Hi, I am having trouble getting into the Adobe Digital editions. I downloaded it, and it says it is complete, but when I go to open it I get an error message that adobe has stopped working and windows is checking for a solution, window closes nothing happens, can't open it. I triedhe uninstalling it and reinstalling it but the same thing happened again. How do I fix this?

Depends why it stopped working. You could try uninstall and reinstall.
Unfortunately, ADE2.0/2.0.1 is a terrible program riddled with bugs,
unless you need a feature it does not have the best solution is to install 1.7.2.
There are lots of bugs in ADE2.0 (and 2.0.1). Try replacing ADE2.0 with the older but more reliable v1.7.2.
(You can have them both installed at once if you like.)
Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.

The forum software is sometimes corrupting the link above. There shouldn't be a blank in 'editio ns.html'. The following redirects to the same page: http://tinyurl.com/diged172
Some people have found ADE trying to upgrade automatically.
It appears (not 100% sure) that if you install ADE2.0 as a new install (not as an upgrade) that your 1.7.2 will continue to run.
Probably best to say no if 2.0.x installation asks if you want to migrate your library.

Adobe digital editions stopped working in windows 7

I am not able to open the adobe digital editions in windows 7 because everytime I open it the above message comes up-I have attempted several uninstall and installs- how can this be corrected?

Update.
I have un-installed 2.0 and cleaned out anything that was hanging around.
Re-insalled V3.0.
Unplugged my reader and started up ADE.
It works!
Uploaded a book and, for a few minutes at least, it was stable.
Plugged in my reader, a Kobo touch, and within seconds I go the ADE 3.0 has stopped working message.

Windows vista system, continuously trying to download a DRM file in Adobe Digital Editions application shows "Error check activation". I have authorized the Fire Wall and still the same.

windows vista system, continuously trying to download a DRM file in Adobe Digital Editions application shows "Error check activation". I have authorized the Fire Wall and still the same.

Since Re-activation as suggested by the link above is not working for you, Can you please confirm the following:
The OperatorURL is reachable. ( you can find the operatorURL from the acsm file by opening it in notepad,etc)
And Book is still available on the book-store for purchase.
(If any of first two are not available, you might have to talk to distributor for next action item to get the book. Since you will have record of purchasing the book, (in my opinion) they should provide you the new token for downloading the book)
And please confirm this that you used the same userID for downloading that you used when you first fulfilled/downloaded the book.
(If it is the case, then you have to use the correct userID)
I hope it helps.

If you are on Vista, see the announcement at the top of the forum,

Try an older version (1.7.2) of ADE, especially if you are on XP.

Adobe Digital Editions v4.0 Error: Check Activation on Windows 8

This isn't a question but a solution that I found to an issue that I hope will help others. I couldn't find a discussion board on this so I'm creating a new one.
I started getting the error message, "Error: Check Activation" when I was trying to download ebooks on my Windows 8 PC. I noticed this was problem for 2.0 as well, and when I tried to erase authorization and reauthorize (which seemed to be the way to fix the problem) it wouldn't allow me to. Then I tried to uninstall and reinstall which didn't work. Then I found the page for if you were having trouble installing ADE. I didn't really have problems with that part but I figured I would give it a try.
One this page, it says to "manually" install the program (which involves downloading the actual zip file and going through that). I did this and it fixed everything! I was able to erase the authorization and reauthorize after this.
I figured I would put this out there so that others might find it useful. I don't know this is specifically a Windows 8 problem or a v4.0 problem or what, but I would suggest trying to "manually" install the program before doing any of the other super complicated fixes that I came across and was scared to try.

ok, follow the below steps as listed.
1. Quit ADE.
2. Choose Start > Search for regedit
3. Right click on regedit, ans select "Run as admininstrator"
4.In the left pane of the Registry Editor, locate the following registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adept
5. Select Adept key, right click on it and select "Delete"
6. In the Confirm Key Delete dialog, click OK.
7. Close the Registry Editor.
8. Open Adobe Digital Editions and reauthorize.
Hope this works !!

Adobe Digital Edition keeps showing error message when i download my ebook. Pleease help?

i have restarted my pc closed and opened the program, opened another internet page to check if its connect and its still not working?

Are you sure it is still the same underlying Adobe account that was used when then books were originally accessed, with just the password changed?
In that case, should just have continued working, but ... you are using the world's worst software so anything can happen.
Try deauthorizing the computer and reauthorizing.
~~~~~
Sometimes ADE gets its registration/activation confused and in a semi-authorized state.
Uninstalling and reinstalling does not help, and indeed installation can even trigger this state.
Unfortunately, it often then gives misleading error messages about what is wrong.
A common incorrect message informs you that the ID is already in use on another computer and cannot be reused.
Another is "E_AUTH_NOT_READY"
This can often be resolved by completely removing any authorization using ctrl-shift-D to the Library screen on ADE (cmd-shift-D if on Mac).
Restart ADE, and then reauthorize with your (old) Adobe ID.
In extreme cases on the mac, the following extra step has helped some people. Navigate to /Users//Library/Application Support/Adobe/Digital Editions and drag the activation.dat file to the trash.

Adobe Digital Editions - Activation server error

I have Adobbe Digital Editions 2.0 on my dekstop computer. I am trying to authorize it (Ctrl-Shift-U), but for the past two weeks I have been getting this as an error message:
Activation server error
code: E_AUTH_NOT_READY
Digital Editions encountered an error on the activation server.
I have tried setting up new Adobe IDs and have even tried uninstalling and then reinstalling Adobe Digital Editions.

I had a similar problem and this worked for me (the IE assistance came from a helpful person in the forum)
uninstall ALL versions of Adobe digital editions (I tried v1.7, 2 and 3!)
use INTERNET EXPLORER to download ADE v 3.
DISABLE windows firewall BEFORE installing ADE3.
Install ADE 3 and I found I could then aauthorize my computer using help>authorize computer in the ADE menu.
Re-download e-book (because previous downloads had expired), and I was able to open my ebook.

'Adobe Reader has stopped working' error message

I've recently updated from Adobe Reader X to Adobe Reader XI using Adobe Cleaner and installer from the website. Whenever I open a pdf file or start the Reader the following error occurs and closes the program: 'Adobe Reader has stopped working'. This message would never occur when I had version X. Moreover, it doesn't occur in any other program I use so far. I've disabled Protected Mode and run Eula.exe, but that didn't help. Here are some details from the event log

Downloading ebook to Adobe Digital Editions produces activation error

Hi there,
So I bought an ebook from the Google ebook store. I then wanted to change it to the Epub format, so I can read it on my Kobo Touch device. Using Digital Editions, I went to 'File', then 'Add to Library'. I went to 'Downloads' on my pc, and changed the file name to 'Adobe Content Server Message (*.acsm), which then showed the book file I wanted to download. But when I clicked on it, it came up with 'Error! Check Activation'. I see this happened to another user on this forum, but there's no answer to his question as yet. Please can someone help? So frustrated!
Thanks.

I am having the same error, but I have not been able to find a solution either

Hi ynotcookit
Please make sure that antivirus has been disabled...
Check the .net framework installed on the machine and update it, if required
Also, Let us know the exact OS that you're using?
