OverDrive Tips

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.

Alice in Wonderland

[The White Rabbit]Have you seen the new Tim Burton movie Alice in Wonderland? It takes place several years after Alice’s first visit to Wonderland, when the now-adult Alice makes a return visit to the scene of her earlier adventures and meets up with many of the same characters.

If you’d like to read about Alice’s first trip to Wonderland, you can read the original book with the famouse John Tenniel illustrations online at the Internet Archive: Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.
