When I start Digital Editions I get an error message that there has been an error and Digital Editions Needs to close.

The error appears to be a system out of range error.

Can someone help. I'm using XP SP3.

    There are lots of bugs in ADE2.0 (and 2.0.1), especially with XP (even SP3 where they are meantd to work). 

    Try replacing ADE2.0 with the older but more reliable v1.7.2.

    (You can have them both installed at once if you like.)

    Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.

    The forum software is sometimes corrupting the link above.  There shouldn't be a blank in 'editio ns.html'.  The following redirects to the same page: http://tinyurl.com/diged172

    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.
