Windows XP Service Pack 2

Windows XP Service Pack 2 causes problems with some e-Books. I recently downloaded a number of books for which I had paid for resale rights and was somewhat disappointed to find that several of them did not run properly. Well I was a bit miffed at first but then I came across a little piece of software by Pawan Agrawal called Fix My eBooks (fixmyebooks.exe) which does just that.

It seems that books created with some e-Book compilers (including Active e-Book Compiler) seem to be unaffected by the Microsoft upgrade, but there are a number of eBooks that will not run with XP SP2. The problem appears to be with books created for older 16 Bit Operating Systems like Windows 9x.

If you are experiencing this problem with your e-Books since the upgrade to Windows XP SP2, then you can obtain a copy of Pawan's excellent script from our download page - CLICK HERE

When you run the script, it may produce a warning message - my own machine does this. Pawan tells me that it is because the script temporarily enables a feature that XP SP2 normally disables. On my own machine it is McAffee that produces the warning. I then must choose to allow the script to run. It puts a little window on my desktop & then I can run all of the books that would not previously run under XP SP2.
