Connection Error: Digital editions could no connect to the activation server.

Hi. I'm using Windows 7 and Adobe Digital Editions 4.0.2. Every time I try to authorize my computer with my Adobe-ID (which is working properly since I can log in to my Adobe account without any trouble) it says "connection error: digital editions could not connect to the activation server. Please check that you are connected to the internet." although my internet connection is working properly.

I tried deinstalling and reinstalling ADE, I deactivated my firewall, I've tried to download ADE via Internet Explorer (I'm usually using Firefox) with all the settings recommended here: http://tohellmylovewithyou.wordpress.com/2010/08/05/ade/ , and deleting the authorization is not possible and thus does not work either.

None of these things has helped and I haven't found any other recommendations in forums or elswhere.

Could someone help me solve this problem?

Thanks a lot!

I could authorise on version 3, but I kept on getting a connection error when trying to open a protected acsm file.

What worked for me was that I set Internet Explorer as my default browser and reset the settings in internet explorer: tools - internet options - advanced - reset.

After that I did not get the connection error message anymore and I could open the file.
