Adobe Digital Edition 4.5.2 Freezes

I found this potential solution in a different blog post.  I was having a similar problem.  I would download an ebook from the online library and either 1) ADE would freeze right there when it was "fulfilling" the book, or 2) the book would download, the thumbnail would appear in the ADE bookshelf, and then ADE would freeze.  In either case, after closing ADE using Task Manager and then reopening it, I could not find the borrowed library book in any ADE screen.

Here's a solution.  Find your "My Digital Editions" folder (mine was in C:\Users\<<My Name>>\Documents\My Digital Editions).  Change the name of that folder (I changed mine to "My Digital Editions - Bad").  Reopen ADE and wait.  ADE will recreate the "My Digital Editions" folder and sub-folders and move part or all of your library into the new folder.  But you have to be patient!

Eventually, ADE will reset and show you all of your bookshelves and the books they contain - even the newly borrowed book.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Does this happen with a specific book or with all eBooks?

You may try downloading an ebook from the Sample eBook Library to check if you face issues with that as well?
