I am unable to open newly purchased ebooks with Digital Editions. Windows XP, SP2, firewall and anti-virus turned off. Not behind any firewall.

Adobe DRM Error
System: 7
State: 4
Class: 5
Code: 31
Message: Your Adobe software could not be activated. HTTP error on Adobe DRM Activator request. Adobe DRM Activator error (client code 31; HTTP code 555).
Fault location: 5

What are my alternatives? I am unable to open these books in Adobe Reader 7.0 or (of course) 8.1.

    Sorry for the delay. Something has gone wrong with your second case. I've asked the team in that region to put somebody on it and get it back in process with someone who knows what they're talking about.

    Dear Hendrik, try to look at the following link. I don't know if it works (I'm awaiting for the IT man) but I'm hopeless with the customer no-support.

    No or in chinese (mayo) because it is quicker to learn the chinese language then get a solution from adobe. I think I will be fluent before they sort this out!

    Adobe have a bet with me!
