downloaded books won't open, only ADE sample books will open

I downloaded ADE 4.5.5. I can read the sample books from ADE without any problems. But...

I have twice now had e-pubs sent to me. I added them to my library and the book covers show up along with all the other useful information. Nothing happens, though, when I click on the books. Instead, I get the message "ADE not responding" and the little circle just cycles round and round non-stop. The books never open. If I click on ADE, a window pops up and asks me if I want to quit the application. I'm using Windows 10.

You can try the following steps:

1) Run as Admin (right click and choose this option).

2) Rename the My Digital Edition Folder under your My Documents Folder and try again to open.

Hi. I'm not sure where you mean I can run as Admin (right click where? In ADE?)

I renamed the folder. Nothing happened.

I uninstalled ADE and tried to install it again. Now it won't install -- I get an error message instead.

I got ADE to install again, but the epub file still won't open. Very frustrating!

That didn't work either. Not sure what else can be done. Since I have a book that needs reviewing before publishing, I've had the people who created the e-book send me the Kindle version and have reviewed the book in the Kindle app for PC.
