Microsoft Reader in Vista

Dear sir or Madam,

I have just purchased a new laptop with Windows Vista Home Premium already
installed on it. I would like to use Microsoft Reader to read my .LIT ebooks
and I tried several times to activate Microsoft Reader on my computer
following the instructions in
http://das.microsoft.com/activate/en...q.asp#fa_vista.
Unfortunately, I am not still able to use Microsoft Reader in my Program
Files to open the .LIT file with that. I would be grateful if somebody could
advise me in this matter.

This is not Microsoft. It's a public newsgroup where volunteers offer peer
to peer help.

Are you getting an error message when you try to use MR?

this was Microsoft? I read it as someone in need looking for help.

Hi guys,

Thanks for answering.

-I do not get any error at all.
-After activating the MS Reader, I do not have it in my list of programs or
any where else. Is it normal?
-I had already checked the link SG suggested and unfortunately, it did not
work for me.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Paris

Did you follow these instructions?

Hi SG,

Thank you very much for this link. It turned out that I did not have
MSReader on my system at all! I downloaded it and I am so happy now. Thanks
again.
