download books from my local library. I am getting an error that reads
unable to acquire license for download. Unable to create CAPICOM object used
to generate hash strings ( Invalid class string)

I have downloaded the latest version of Windows Media Player, reinstalled
Overdrive from the library that transfers the book, reinstalled Capicom.
Checked for any updates I might have missed and nothing has worked for me.

The only change since my last download is that I set up a wireless network
for our home..I am amazed that I even got that to work...I am really inept
especially when I read class strings and hash strings...

Any ideas out there???

If you use Overdrive Media Console - I just started having the same
problems and got this back form an email to them:
We are sorry that you are having trouble with the OverDrive Media
Console. To resolve this error we ask that you please follow these
steps closely as it is an very involved process. The process will
walk
you through uninstalling OverDrive Media Console, renaming the capicom
file, and finally re-installing the OverDrive Media Console. These
steps
are as follows:

1. Uninstall OverDrive Media Console
- Navigate to your add/remove control panel
- Remove all instances of OverDrive Media Console

2. View hidden files:
- Open "My computer"
- Click "Tools > Folder Options > View"
- Under 'Hidden files and folders' heading, make both of the following
changes:

* Select 'Show Hidden Files and Folders'
* Un-check 'Hide Protected Operating System Files'
- Click the button 'Apply to All Folders'. This will ensure the
changes
affect all folders on the system.

3. Manually delete the following folders:

C:\Program Files\OverDrive Media Console
C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\OverDrive
C:\Documents and Settings\user\My Documents\My Media
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\DRM

4. Rename the capicom.dll file to capicom.dll.bak
* This file is located in c:\windows\system32\

5. Re-install the OverDrive Media Console.
http://www.overdrive.com/files/ODMediaConsoleSetup.msi

6. Run the Windows Media Player Security Upgrade. In the OverDrive
- From within the OverDrive Media Console, click Tools > Windows Media
Player Security Upgrade.

7. Attempt to download an OverDrive Audiobook.

Please let us know if they continue to have issues or if we can
provide
further assistance.

Sincerely,
The OverDrive Support Team
