  I uninstalled and then went and deleted the folders in app data and 
reinstalled and still will not start.

That's what happened to me.  thing is ...first time I downloaded the KFPC, 
it took about 48 minutes, typical for my connection speed and a file of that 
size.  This time, it took less than 2 minutes.  Also, the set up wizard 
didn't show up.  Oh, and I checked my manage my devices, and there are no 
registrations for Kindle for PC.  It's like I never had one.  Not shown as 
registered or deregistered, though I found my Kindle keyboard.

I can download the software, but I still can't open it.  I'm wondering
if the problem lies in the C:\Users\My_Username\Application Data\Local
directory.  There are a couple of Kindle folders in that directory which
may need deleting.  I may try this.  If it fails, I'll call Amazon
Kindle Support.  I'll keep the list posted.

I'll check on that.  I doubt it matters, at this point, but I'll find out.

Shoshana and Sherry, I'll probably call Amazon Kindle Support in a few
minutes and let them know that three users are having problems with the
software.

Shoshana, you mentioned the possibility of your software having been
deregistered.  If you go to your Amazon account online and then to to
"Manage Your Kindle" and then to "Manage Your Devices," is your Kindle
for PC showing up as registered?  Mine is still registered.

My PC app isn't opening either. I haven't tried to use it in several 
weeks
but tested it today, after reading Shoshana's message. And I never
uninstalled the non accessible version and that one doesn't open either.

Shoshana, I wonder if Kindle for PC users who don't use the
accessibility plugin have had difficulty.

When you uninstalled the software, did you delete the Kindle folder from
your C:\Users\Your_Username_Application Data folder?  I may do this soon.

Well, I spent nearly 3 hours with them today, and we tried just about

KFPC

you'll
have better luck than I did ...at least, I'm not the only one

this.  Oh, and don't bother with the link they provide ...it doesn't

Shoshana, and no, my headache has not subsided, at least not much.

Shoshana, same problem here.  I tried opening Kindle for PC with
Accessibility Plugin via the Desktop shortcut and via clicking on it
from the Amazon folder after pressing the "All Programs" button.  It is
as if the software simply was not there.  Nothing happens when I try to
open it.  A Google search has turned up nothing.  I'm off to do some
more checking.  I may try de-registering and re-registering.  I'll phone
Amazon Tech Support if I can't figure out a solution.  I'll keep the
list posted.  I hope your headache has subsided.

Last night, my KFPC stopped working, couldn't even open it.  Have tried
all day to get it back, uninstalled, downloaded ...multiple times.
Spent over 2 hours with Kindle tech support, no joy.  then I learned
that the old version of the KFPC expired, and people have to get the 
new
version.  Could it be that the  accessibility plug in is attached to an
old version, or something?  Anyone else having issues?
Shoshana, exhausted and with a splitting headache, but no KFPC, sigh
