Problem authorizing a computer

Currently, my computer is authorized without an ID.  I would like to authorized it with an Adobe ID, which I have, but when I try to do that, a screen pops up saying An Error Has Been Detected, Activation Server Error code E_AUTH_NOT_READY.  As I understand it, I must successfully complete this step before I can authorize an e reader device such as a nook or kindle and transfer borrowed books.  What do I need to do to fix this?

    That is my problem. But there seems to be no where to get the next step.

    Enter a name and location for the backup registry key, and then click Save.  I don't know what this means - name and location?  my name? what location?  thanks.
