Dear Sir or Madam
I ' ve purchased a lot of e-books from a number of suppliers (Ebookmall, cobobooks, etc), like the one attached. All these were readable through the services of Adobe Digital Editions(pdf & epub format).Unfortunately I had a disk crash in summer & I retrieved many of my archives, including the e-books , which i' ve purchached, through data recovery. After that I have try to open the above book through ADE 4.5 but it appeared a message like the one attached.Exactly the same message appears in all efforts to open similar e-books like the one attached.In the same time I' ve use my lap-top to open my e-books , using ADE 3.0. Regarding this process , the ADE system requires authorisation & after that , it began to load the book. However , even after the competion of the loading bar, the systen is not able to load the book.
As i 've spent a lot of money for these books, all the time using the good services of Adobe Digital Editions, I like to have, please , a solution regarding my problems. I can't attach the ebook-sample. Furthemore i can't authorize my Deckstop ADE , because the system tells thai I use the same e-mail & password in other devise (my laptop)

Yours Faithfully

    I had open my e-books, only before my disc crah and data recovery. After this I cant't open my e-books , even after reinstalling & re-authorizing my ADE 3.0 (Windows 7, Ultimate Editions). I have the same problem with all my purchased books (about 30-40) from various suppliers (Kobooks, ebokmal e.t.c.) Books freely downloaded from internet are capable to open, via ADE.
