same O/S here - save to disc works fine when I test 64 bit version - I no longer have the other installed. you are looking for a folder in the target folder, not a single file

Since 9.11 x64 version, I have constant crashes and is simply not usable. The x32 works fine.
Running Windows 8 Pro x64, 32GB RAM My C: drive is a SSD, and all installation and library files are on C: I have uninstalled, cleaned, rebooted, reinstalled, etc. but the problem remains. Problem seems global, seems to happen any/everywhere. ie I can convert a single book (epub to mobi) just fine in x64, but if select multiple books, it crashes. If I make an adjustment in tweaks, it crashes when I "Apply" it. And other areas as well with no apparent pattern. When I restart x64, those changes I make in prefs are applied, even though it crashed when I made them. I do see a significant speed increase using x64 and would like to get it stable like x32 is. I am trying some plugins like Import List, Find Duplicates, etc. Any ideas? Thanks. Monty [edit] I just tried 64bit v9.10 and have the same problems, so was wrong about it just starting with v9.11. At this point I haven't a clue... Last edited by MontyJ; 01-04-2013 at 05:26 PM. |

The memory could be faulty, or the computer is overclocked? Try to find some diagnostic software that test the memory of your computer. Perhaps it is included in Windows?

While that doesn't 'prove' it is not the memory, it is unlikely to be a memory issue. And yes, I have run the Windows Memory Diagnostic tool and no problems were found. And no, no overclocking setup yet, tho my BIOS supports it and I am itching to play with it, LoL. I had played with it a bit in Win7 using the Gigabyte Easytune setup, but soon thereafter I got Win8 and a new SSD and just haven't had time to play around with it yet. So it works in Win7 x64 but not Win8 x64, yet the x32 version works in both just fine. |

I've been using 64bit Calibre for several days now, and so far have had no problems on Win 7 64bit. I'm absolutely delighted with it, in fact, as it has finally allowed me to convert a mobi version of the Complete Works of Dickens to epub. On the 32bit version, on numerous conversion attempts it got to 47% and stayed there - the last time for 3 days! On the 64bit version it took precisely 260 minutes, although I did get a bit worred at the 47% mark as it seemed to stick there for a while.
I am curious about one thing, though. I converted an AZW3 file and it took 7.25 minutes using the 64bit, but only 6.10 using 32bit for the same file. On mobi files it is definitely a lot faster using 64bit. I will have to test out some more AZW3 files to see if it was a one off anomaly. One extra I would like to see is a slight variation on the desktop icon so that I can tell both versions apart more easily. I've solved it on a temporary basis by finding another icon elsewhere for the 32bit for now as I intend to run both in tandem for a bit longer. Great work from Kovid and the team. |

With both the x64 and x32 versions installed, gave W8 Safe Mode a try: 1. Loading either version gave me an "Adapter Error" This looks like it is looking for a driver for a "transfer device"? Not sure, but since that did not crash the pgm, kept going. 2. Loaded 3 small epub books into Calibre x32. Selected all of them and selected Convert to Mobi. No problems; all converted normally. Closed the x32 version. 3. Loaded the x64 version. Deleted the Mobi conversion files for all 3 original epubs loaded. Selected all 3 epub books and selected convert to mobi. Program crashed, no error messages on screen. 4. Restarted the x64 version. No mobi files were made, so selected one epub book. It converted normally. 5. Selected the other two epubs to convert to mobi and the pgm crashed. This is the same general type of behavior as in normal W8 mode. Seemed pointless to bang away using other functions if that simple convert multiple books won't work. I don't see many users of W8 yet using Calibre, so obviously can't compare experiences on any meaningfull level yet, x32 or x64. What I have experienced so far, based on Safe Mode having the same issues, and memory probably not the problem, I am stuck. Hopefully as more folks adopt W8, we will be able to see if the issue is limited to my setup, or more spread out across W8 users, especially x64 users. For reference purposes, here are some details on my setup: ----------------- Windows 8 Professional (x64) (build 9200) Install Language: English (United States) System Locale: English (United States) Installed: 12/12/2012 4:47:01 PM Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.
