Errors while Downloading or Transferring

Error messages such as “The parameter is incorrect” while downloading or transferring titles may be caused by a corrupt DRM folder in Windows. You can reset the DRM folder as follows:

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. Rename the DRM folder to DRM.old. In Windows XP, this folder should be located at C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\DRM
9. Close this window and open OverDrive Media Console.
10. Go to “Tools > Windows Media Player Security Upgrade”.
    If it will not run 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

Once the above steps have been completed, try the download and transfer of a title again.
