Adobe Digital Editions 4.5.8 suddenly stopped working when I tried to load a second library ebook (it loaded the first). It just sits at the splash screen and says "loading library...." but will NOT open. I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling ADE; uninstalling it and installing an older version I still had from two years ago; and even taking Windows back about 10-20 days using a restore point. NOTHING worked!

Please, please help! I am an avid reader and this is how I get my library books. It's very frustrating!

I have searched Google so many times to try to find an answer that works and I can't.

I use Windows 10.

Thank you.

Closed ADE.
Rename the My Digital Edition folder in your Documents Folder. (f. e. OLD)

Then start again.

Strangely, when I borrowed another ebook today from the library, Adobe Digital Editions opened up, sort of (it was a white blank where the library should be) but it would NOT open up the new ebook. I tried multiple times. It would only open it up once I renamed the new Digital Editions file folder OLD2, and then tried again.... I hope I don't have to do that every time I borrow an ebook now...but if I do, at least I have a workaround!

I followed everyone's suggestion, going to old. it worked:-) Just, why won't adobe tell us that or at least fix it? I'm asking library to change systems.
