I'm getting the following error: "Error code: 80040812. Failed call to fulfill the title. The fulfillment limit (3) for the requested title has been reached."

This error indicates that you have surpassed the allowed 3 times that you can download a particular eAudiobook file. This usually happens if you are having internet connection problems. Please fill out the support request form and a library staff member will reset your download link.

 

 

I'm getting the following error: "Error 0xC00D2751: A problem has occurred in the Digital Rights Management component."

The error you are receiving should be resolved by resetting the DRM (Digital Rights Management) for Windows Media Player. Please perform the following steps carefully:

  1. Open the Control Panel
  2. Open Folder Options and select the View tab
  3. Select Show hidden files and folders
  4. Uncheck Hide protected operating system files
  5. In the warning message you receive, click Yes
  6. Click OK
  7. Close the Control Panel

  8. (For Windows 7 or Vista:)
    1. Click the Start button. In the Start Search box, paste the following:
      C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\DRM
    2. Press Enter
    3. Delete ONLY the following 4 files:
      blackbox.bin
      drmstore.hds
      v3ks.bla
      v3ks.sec

    (For Windows XP or older:)
    • Find the DRM folder. Depending on your operating system version, it will be in the following location:
      • Windows 2000 and XP:
        C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\DRM
      • Windows 98:
        C:\Windows\All Users\DRM
      • Windows ME:
        C:\Windows\DRM
    • Rename the DRM folder to DRM.old
  9. Close this window and open OverDrive Media Console
  10. Go to Tools > Windows Media Player Security Upgrade
  11. After the Security Upgrade process finishes, try to download your audiobook file again.

 

 

I'm getting the following error: "Unable to acquire a license to play the selected title. The requested license is either invalid or already acquired."

Clearing your temporary files should resolve this error. Please perform the following steps:

  1. Delete the problem title from OverDrive Media Console.
  2. Clear all temporary files from your computer:
    • Go to Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Cleanup
    • Allow Disk Cleanup to run its analysis (this may take some time)
    • When Disk Cleanup is finished analyzing the system, you will see a box notifying you of how much space can be freed by running the cleanup utility. Please place a check in the box next to the following items only:
      • Temporary Internet Files
      • Recycle Bin
      • Temporary Files
      • Temporary Offline Files
      • Offline Files
    • Click OK to run the Cleanup Wizard
    • When Disk Cleanup is finished, reboot your system.
  3. Download the audiobook title from your account again.

 

 

I'm having problems running the Windows Media Player Security Upgrade

If the Media Player Security Upgrade will not run when you go to Tools > Windows Media Player Security Upgrade from the OverDrive Media Console, the security upgrade may also be run by going to (in Internet Explorer only) the following site:

http://drmlicense.one.microsoft.com/Indivsite
(Please make sure to enable JavaScript and ActiveX if asked to. Also, if the Upgrade button is not active, try running Internet Explorer as an administrator.)

If this also does not work, then you may have to reinstall Windows Media Player:

  1. Uninstall Windows Media Player 11 following the steps at this website:
    http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/11/readme.aspx#RollingbacktoapreviousversionofthePlayer
  2. Reboot the computer. Open Windows Media Player. This will finish the setup process for Windows Media Player 10.
  3. Re-install Windows Media Player 11. The install program can be downloaded from:
    http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/11/default.aspx
  4. Run all available Windows Media Player updates from http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com
  5. Re-run the Windows Media Player Security Upgrade from the OverDrive Media Console under the Tools menu.
  6. Attempt to download an eAudiobook

 

Can I view the full ebooks.kdl.org website on my iPad or tablet, instead of the mobile version?

Although an iPad or other tablet device will default to showing the mobile version of the ebooks.kdl.org website, you can manually change this to show the full website if you prefer. To do this, look at the URL of the website and change the portion that says /40/20/ to /10/832/ instead. (e.g., change http://ebooks.kdl.org/E19C0E11-7838-47CA-8FB3-3AC09D8B3FE8/40/20/en/Default.htm to http://ebooks.kdl.org/E19C0E11-7838-47CA-8FB3-3AC09D8B3FE8/10/832/en/Default.htm)

However, please note that the mobile website only displays formats that are available for direct downloading to your device (EPUB eBooks and MP3 eAudiobooks). Therefore, when viewing the full website, please be aware that materials in PDF eBook or WMA eAudiobook format are not able to be directly downloaded, but must be transferred via a computer. (See instructions for PDF eBooks or WMA eAudiobooks.)

 

 

How do I return eAudiobooks early so I can check out more?
