Let's just go through a quick check list.

You've installed Calibre.
You've dragged your LIT book onto the "Library" window and had it show up in the window.
You've right clicked the book in the library window, and selected "Convert eBooks", then "Convert Individually". This should open a new window saying "Convert <book title>".
In the top right corner of this window you've chosen an output format of "MOBI", and then clicked the "OK" button.

All OK so far?

Now, back on the main Calibre window, in the lower right corner, in should says "Jobs:1" with a spinning wheel alongside it. Wait until that changes back to "Jobs:0" and your conversion should be finished.

At which point in the above process is the problem occurring?
