Can't open reader files on WM5 through file explorer

Hello,

I just bought a new Axim X51 running Windows Mobile 5, I've installed
Microsoft Reader 2.4.1 (activated). It works when I open books from
the library, but when I use file explorer and double-click an ebook, I
get the error:

"The file XXXXXX cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a
trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. You
might need to reinstall or restore this file".

I've got over 200 books on an SD card, so it's not feasible for me to
use the library to look for them. I've tried a soft reset,
uninstalling and reinstalling Reader, and retransferring the books
from my desktop. This happens on secure and open ebooks. All of
these books did work fine using Reader on my old Axim X30.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thank you,

Zia:

Are you tapping on the book to open the book? If so this is a known issue
with the current Reader. You can repair this in one of the following ways:

1. Install an application like Resco Explorer and when you tap on the file
the registry will be repaired for you by answering a series of questions.
2. You can edit the PPC registry via a 3rd party registry tool and edit
these entries -

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\eBook\shell\Open\Command\
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\eBookEBO\shell\Open\Command\

Inside the string value you will need to add quotes around the path to
msreader.exe but NOT %1

If this does not resolve your issue please reply back and I will do my best
to assist you in resolving this issue.

Sincerely,
Christine - Microsoft Reader Team

Christine,

I tried Resco Explorer, and it did fix the issue. I'm now able to
open the books with either Resco or File Explorer with no trouble.

Thank you very much for your help,

Zia
