SYMPTOMS
After you read a new electronic book with Microsoft Reader, the next time that you start Microsoft Reader the book is not listed in your library.



CAUSE
This issue occurs if you open the book without first downloading the file. If the file is opened from the Internet, Microsoft Internet Explorer downloads a temporary copy. When Microsoft Reader is closed, the temporary copy is deleted.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, first try to locate the temporary copy. To do so, follow these steps:
 * 1) Click Start, and then click Search.
 * 2) In the Search Results window, click All files and folders.
 * 3) In the All or part of the file name dialog box, type *.lit.
 * 4) Under Type of file, expand More advanced options, and then click All Files and Folders.
 * 5) If you find books in temporary folders, and these books are not in your library, copy the book files to the My Library folder in the My Documents folder.

If you want to be prompted for a download location for the file type, follow these steps.

Note Because there are several versions of Microsoft Windows, the following steps may be different on your computer. If they are, see your product documentation to complete these steps.
 * 1) Click Start, and then click My Computer.
 * 2) On the Tools menu, click Folder Options.
 * 3) On the File Types tab, click LIT in the Registered file types box.
 * 4) Click Advanced.
