A damaged EPUB file can’t be opened by reader software

Make sure first you are using a supported operating system. Since you are in Windows XP, your platform needs to be in Service Pack 3 in order to be able to successfully open ePub files. If you are presently using Windows XP Service Pack 1 or Service Pack 2 and it still works, then I think now is the time for you to update to Service Pack 3 to continue using it.

Download the update pack from Windows XP Service Pack 3. When installing, make sure no other programs are running before running the installer. Restart the computer after the installation to finish the update. You can check your version after rebooting by right-clicking on My Computer and selecting Properties. You will see the words “Service Pack 3” under System in General tab. See image.
