Calibre won't start if a device isn't plugged in
Whenever I open Calibre with my device plugged in, it works fine. Otherwise, it won't start. I see a blank window with "Not Responding" in the title.

I'm using Windows 7 64-bit, Calibre 2.19.0.

1) how long did you give it?
2) are you using 'Connect to folder'? Did you 'eject' (right-click menu on the folder device) it before shutting down?

Just waited a full minute. Nothing.

That option is greyed out.

Just tried it, made no difference.

In debug mode it started fine. I tried it again without debug mode, and again it didn't work.

Here's the output:

D:\Programs\Calibre2>calibre-debug -g
calibre 2.19 isfrozen: True is64bit: False
Windows-7-6.1.7601-SP1 Windows ('32bit', 'WindowsPE')

Problem solved.

I just noticed from the debug output that I installed the 32-bit version. I uninstalled it and installed the 64-bit version, and now it's working.

I'm still curious what the problem was. Is there a setting that makes it search for a device when it starts?
