Whatever you do, do NOT mess around with your existing Library folder. Kovid or somebody can help get calibre running again.

What Operating system and Service pack?
Did you install any OTHER updates or new programs before this started?
Was there a abnormal shutdown (blue screen, you had to force a power off...)?
