Calibre 2.0 Crashing at start up
Hello
Sorry for my english, I'm french. I installed the new version of caliber. I have a problem with cons. Every time I start the program, there is an error message. (no problem with the old version) I've uninstalled everything, cleaned the directory and did a clean install is the same every time. The program has an error with the qt5core.dll I'm still using windows xp If you have an idea, I'm interested. thank you |

The download page for calibre says:
Quote:
Pour être clair -- calibre 2.x ne fonctionne pas sur XP. À partir de vendredi 29/8, calibre va refuser de s’installer sur XP. Vos choix sont 1) rester sur 1.48, ou 2) installer windows vista, 7, ou 8. |

Hello
Thank you for your reply. I made an installation on another machine also installed xp and there does it work correctly. The version will stop working the same 29/8 on computers that work properly? Is there still a way to make the program run under XP? |

Starting with the next release, calibre 2.x will refuse to install or run on any computer running Windows XP. That might change in the future if Kovid finds what the problems are, but I don't think that there is much chance of this happening.

It is not a good idea to stay on Windows XP, except if you have a very good reason. Think about it; Windows 7 is 5 years old already, Windows 8 is 2 years old, and Windows 9 is coming in March/May next year... XP is getting *really* long in the tooth now.

I'm running Windows 7, and I have the same problem. I do have a very old Pentium IV computer, though.

Microsoft actually decided to stop windows xp and that's a shame because it was a very good OS.
I will stay on the old version still hoping that the program developer to find a solution for XP is still widely used. Thank you for your answers. |

According to this web page http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentr...or-supports-it there is a program you can run to check if your processor supports SSE2. Note that if you are running Win64 then you might need the SSE2 extended instruction set, introduced by AMD in 2003 and Intel in 2004. |

Why support a 13 year old operating system running on hardware that is even older than that (as SSE2 was introduced in 2001)? I'm not one for upgrading ASAP; the computer I'm typing this on is 6 years old (but has a quad-core, SSD, 8GB RAM, and Windows 7 x64). That's somewhat old, but 13 years is ancient history in computing. |

There are enterprises that use Windows Server 2003, and many will continue to use it after it reaches its EOL next year. I know of a significant multinational corporation that still has some LAN Manager servers dotted around the planet
And IIRC the POS version of XP EOL is 2019. BR |

I have calibre in a machine that still uses server2003
Guess I am stuck with 1.48. But it's not the only app I have stopped upgrading, so it's OK Thanks for calibre |
