I was also going to suggest checking the cartridge. All
that really is is a flash drive inside an enclosure that looks very much
like a talking book case.
It could also be that the book, itself is corrupted. you might try
downloading that particular book again and then first unzip it and see
what happens. then if it unzips ok, then go ahead and copy it to your
cartridge. I'd also like to recommend 7zip. It's a great program,
fully accessible with Window-eyes, and all screenreaders for that matter.

I just tried this and it worked fine. But I discovered years ago that
it was faster to extract the book on my hard drive and then copy it to
the cartridge. Although extracting it directly is now just as fast if
I use a USB 3 thumb drive on a USB 3 port.
You can also try opening the context menu on the zip file and
unblocking it.
If none of this works the cartridge may be corrupted. I'd open My
computer, select the drive, context menu, properties, tools, and check
the drive. Or you can run ChkDsk from a command prompt if you're
familiar with that method.
Good luck,
Tom

Hello,
I'm not at all sure this is a WE problem. After years of downloading
and extracting books from BARD, it no longer works. I connect the
cartridge and navigate to it with Windows Explorer and go to the desktop
where I download books temporarily. I select the book to extract, edit
the path to the cartridge and hit the 'Extract' button. The computer
goes silent for about 20 to 30 seconds and then I'm bounced to the Task
Bar. The folder for the book is created but the folder is empty and I
can't alt-tab to the cartridge. In the past few days, I have done only
two things with the computer. One, I installed 3 optional updates from
Windows Update. Two, I tried the OCR feature of Virtual View for the
ffist time. I enabled the 'Windows TIF Ifilter before trying Virtual
View. I unchecked the Windows TIF Ifilter after having the problem
extracting books. I have not uninstalled the latest updates as yet but
I will if recommended to do so.
I am running Windows 7 HP, WE 9.4 on an Acer laptop 64-bit with 3 gigs
of ram.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Regards,
Dan
