DIGITAL EDITIONS FREEZES

I have installed Adobe Digital Editions 2 on my PC running XP (sp3).
When I click on the icon it starts but as soon as I click on a menu or button it freezes and the Microsoft window comes up with >>Adobe Digital Editions 2.0 has encountered a problem and needs to close.  We are sorry for the inconvenience.<< and asking to send a message to microsoft. Anyone any ideas?
I have uninstalled twice and removed temp files before re downloading and reinstalling but still the same.

Version 1.7.2 is the answer to many problems with ADE 2.0.
ADE2.0 regularly seems to have problems with Sony and Nook devices (and some others too?); and with XP.
Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.

  • Adobe Digital Edition Freezes after opening .ascm file

    I just downloaded Adobe Digital Edition 4 for my computer, and I've authorized my computer and the program already. When I tried to open the .ascm file my ebook's from, the file would have the contents downloaded, but the program would just freeze and nothing shows up.I can't click or do anything on Adobe, and the only way for me to shut it down is by using task manager.
    Has anyone else have this problem, and if you do, how did you fix it?

    Can you please specify your OS and IE details(if you are using window)

  • Help - digital editions freezes at "verifying document" ?? what next

    Having successfully used Digital Editions to purchase books from Waterstones and Mills and Boon since I installed 1.7.1 update for Digital Editions I can't download any books.  Digital editions says it is downloading book then appears to freeze at "verifying document" with 0% completed.  IO Error on local file open with event detail error #2038.  Can anyone give me an idea what to do please?  Adobe Customer Support have been no help whatsoever despite me registering this problem since beginning of August - I still have no solution.

    Sucess!!!!
    A book that I had loaded into ADE prior to it freezing was also in another document folder on my computer.  Today I opened up the book in my document folder and it automatically opened it up with ADE - Frozen verifying document box now gone - yeah - ADE now usable, a strange fix and probably wont work all the time but hey its not frozen for me anymore.
    Now I use the Calibre for all my ebooks
    ADE will only be used for my books bought through, Borders and Angus & Robertson. (not taking any more chances)
    Hope this helps someone, as I know I couldn'tt find any fixes

  • Adobe Digital Edition freezes after downloading a book via -acsm file

    Hello,
    Three hours ago I have downloaded the Adobe Digital Edition (ADE) so that I can read a book for my studies.
    I use Win7 on my netbook.
    I fully authorized it, downloaded the .acsm file, unblocked it in the properties and opened it with the ADE.
    A smaller window popped up saying: Fulfilling[book name] and a progress bar went up to 100%.  Then it dissapeared and the ADE froze in a fashion that it can be moved around and minimalized, but nothing else.
    Eventually, after about 30min I closed it via task manager.
    I've already spent three hours digging through the forums instead of studying so any help is appreciated.

    I am also having this problem. Did you find a solution?

  • Extremely frustrating product. Slow scrolling makes Digital Editions useless.

    I have been using Adobe Digital Editions for studying recently and I will not be using it anymore.
    I'm going back to the paper versions of my textbooks.
    Studying anything using Adobe Digital Editions is an exercise in patience and frustration. I have to wait almost 30 seconds to scroll to a new page in the textbook. Do you guys at Adobe have any idea how frustrating that is when trying to study? I am forced to use Digital Editions and am very unhappy with it.
    I have often wanted to scroll to a next page and had to do the following: Press the 'down' button on my keyboard 5-6 times, go to my kitchen for a drink of water, come back and wait for the page to finish scrolling. I also could have changed the size of the text to fit the page (which takes 4-5 seconds to do), press 'down' once, and then re-size the text again (which takes 4-5 seconds to do if the program doesn't freeze). Neither of these options is acceptable.
    Sometimes the program freezes completely and has to be forced to shut down with Windows Task Manager.
    I don't know how or why Digital Editions is such a failure technologically as Adobe is a large corporation with a huge amount of resources at its disposal.
    One would think making a fucntional E-Book reader should be a breeze for Adobe.
    The issue is not my computer. I have a dual-core processor and 3 GB RAM. An E-Book reader should work very well on my machine. Another forum commenter mentioned that his computer has 32 GB of Ram and a quad-core processor and he said exactly the same as what I said: Scrolling pages in Digital Editions is an absolute nightmare and makes the product unusable.

    ADE is indeed a disgrace to an otherwise respecable company.
    You may find that the older version 1.7.2 behaves much better.
    Also, try Sony Reader; free download from Sony intended to run with Sony eReaders but works quite happily without.
    I prefer ADE1.7.2 to Sony Reader. https://ebookstore.sony.com/download/

    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.)

    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 2.0 has encountered a problem and needs to close?

    When attempting to launch Adobe Digital Editions I get "adobe digital editions 2.0 has encountered a problem and needs to close"
    Windows XP
    This product has been working until today
    Tried uninstalling and reinstalling

    I don't know why it has stopped ~ maybe an incompatible Windows update.
    Unless you really need the (few) extra features of  2.0, you'll be much better off on 1.7.2.

  • Authorisierung des Digital Editions auf einem zweiten Computer!!

    Hallo,
    ich möchte das Digital Editions auf meinem neuen Rechner authorisieren, da ich keinen zugriff mehr auf meinem alten Computer haben.
    Das System sagt immer, dass das nicht geht, da diese Authorisierung bereits auf einem anderen Gerät vorhanden ist.
    Was kann ich tun, dass ich die gleiche Authorisierung auf meinem neuen Computer einrichten kann.
    Bitte Hilfe....

    ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
    Manchmal ADE bekommt seine Registrierung / Aktivierung verwirrt und in einem semi-autorisierten Zustand.
    Deinstallation und Neuinstallation hilft nicht, und zwar Installation kann auch diesen Zustand auszulösen.
    Leider gibt es dann oft irreführenden Fehlermeldungen über das, was falsch ist.
    Eine gemeinsame falsche Meldung informiert Sie, dass die ID ist bereits im Einsatz auf einem anderen Computer und kann nicht wiederverwendet werden.
    Ein anderer ist "E_AUTH_NOT_READY"
    Dies kann oft durch das vollständige Entfernen keine Genehmigung mit Strg-Shift-D in die Bibliothek-Bildschirm auf ADE (cmd-shift-D, wenn auf dem Mac) gelöst werden.
    Starten ADE und dann mit der (alten) Adobe-ID neu aktivieren.
    In extremen Fällen auf dem Mac hat die folgenden zusätzlichen Schritt einige Leute geholfen. Navigieren Sie zu / Users / / Library / Application Support / Adobe / Digital Editions und ziehen Sie die Datei activation.dat in den Papierkorb. Wenn Sie mit 10,7 werden, finden Sie Zugang versteckter User Bibliotheksdateien | Mac OS 10.7 Lion. http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1265248?tstart=0

  • I already have adobe digital editions on my mac pc and download books from the library to my android e-reader. Can I use the same digital editions on my ipad air, or do I need to load a different one onto my ipad?

  • I downloaded and re-installed Adobe Digital Editions so that I could get books from the library and read them on my tablet. It is not working and my tablet cannot open the books??

    What can I do? I am 68 y/o and not very computer literate.  I put an micro SD card in  my computer to copy the books (also some ebooks that I bought from a retailer) onto the SD card so that I could read it on my computer or my ereader by puting the card into the reader (tablet or whatever you want to call it).. HELP

    Please follow the below steps and check:
    1) Right click on the book in library that you want to copy from your computer. Click on the "Show File in Explorer".
    2) Copy/Paste the book from this location to your SD card.
    3) On your tablet open the book from your SD card in your ereader.
        You need to make sure that you authorize your ereader with the same ID with which you authorized your computer. In case you do not remember which ID you used for authorizing your Digital Edition, click     Help-> Authorization Information.
    Hope this helps. If it doesn't, please specify the ereader that you are using and the exact error message that you are getting. Thanks!
