I have been attempting, incredibly unsuccessfuly, to install Digital Editions on Windows XP Pro SP3. I do not have any versions of Adobe Reader or Acrobat installed on this computer. Is this why Digital Editions will not open and run correctly? The goal is to make this work with a Nook Simple Touch. Any help or information will be greatly appreciated!  Thanks

    There are lots of bugs in ADE2.0.  It is meant to work on XP SP3, but lots of people have issues.

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

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