  Robert,  Bookshare support cannot address generic problems.  The question 
should have been phrased as followes: 

  I downloaded the following book in Daisy/BRF format: 

  Some title,  by Some Author 

  using Kurzweil version x.y (or through Internet explorer). 
  Attempted to open the resulting file: 

  some_title.bks 

  in Kurzweil version x.y with file/open. 
  The operation failed with the following message: 

  Some nasty error message. 

  That's it.  With specific info Bookshare support and Kurzweil can look into 
the problem.  Otherwise they can't help.

  Kurzweil can normally open the BKS file.  I always use the DAISY file that 
way because I don't like exploding BKS files in to multiple files per book, 
which can make a mess of a folder and is far more annoying to look through for 
the file with the correct extention. 
    
  It sounds like there is more of a problem than improper setup although that 
seems to be part of the problem.

  Robert, 
      Sorry, but I have no record of you asking this question in the Support 
archives.  Are you trying to use Kurzweil to open a BKS file that's on your 
hard drive?  If so, that won't work.  What happens if you use the Online 
feature in Kurzweil to retrieve and open the book?  Does that work?  If you 
just click or hit Enter on an XML file, Windows will bring up Explorer by 
default.  You'll have to use the Open With Application command from the context 
menu if you want it to open some other way.  Also, the proper way to open a 
DAISY book in Kurzweil, if the book is unpacked, is to use Kurzweil's Open 
function to open the file with the .OPF extension.  If you want Victor Reader 
to open the book, you should have the full book, all four files for DAISY, in 
the same directory, and once you launch Victor, it will pick them up via its 
Bookshelf function. 
      If you can be specific about how you want to read the books, I can be 
specific about how to go about doing it.

  I just downloaded some new books and kurzweil can't openthem because it 
doesn't reconize the format, when i try the bookshare unpack it opens but after 
bring up victor reader it cqancels the action in internet exployer. Now the 
files are there and it reconizes XML in the extention but it just don't wan to 
open it in kurzweil, just started having this problem today, any ideas, I can 
write support but have written them in the past but they never answer back.
