ADE 4.x crashes when opening EPUB files, but ADE 3 works fine

I'm able to open PDFs fine with ADE 4.x (4.0.3 and 4.5), but whenever I try to open any of my EPUB files, ADE crashes.  I can read those same EPUBs with Calibre just fine.  I tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times, as well as rebooting.  Nothing worked, until I uninstalled ADE 4.x and installed ADE 3 (3.0.1.91394).  Now I can read both EPUBs and PDFs just fine.

I'm running Windows 10.  Any idea why ADE 3 could be working on my PC with EPUBs, but ADE 4 doesn't?

Thanks,

Ari

I am new to this site, and have not figured out yet how to start a discussion. Please help me do so. Since Adobe.com upgraded Photoshop CC 2015 to version 2015.5 online a few days ago, I lost my third-party Photoshop plugins AND access to the two major reference books comprising my Adobe Digital Editions 3.0 Library.  When I click on either of the books, I get a message stating:

"Authorization Needed. This computer needs to be authorized with a Vendor ID." (I know nothing about a vendor's ID or password!) How do I recover access to the books in my ADE 3.0 Library asap? Thanks, very much, everyone. Earl.

Digital Edition 4 have same problems with permissions. Try right click on Digital Edition and run as admin. Then try to open the file.

Thank you, Nanaky.  ADE 3 works fine for me currently,so I'll stick with that until Adobe fixes this problem.
