I don't know if this will work, but MobiPocket only uses one ebook directory. So, first remove the two ebooks that were involved in the original incident (from the MobiPocket target directory) and also the associated .mbp files (these may be hidden by default, but they are there).

If that does not work, rename the entire directory (folder) to something else. So that MobiPocket starts up with no ebooks in its library. You can move the ebooks back into the new Mobipocket directory once the Reader is working again. You need to move back the .mbp files as well if you have bookmarks or want to remember the existing last page read, or have edited the metadata from within the Reader (otherwise not).

I don't know what the default folder is called under Windows 7, it is something like My Documents\My ebooks or My Documents\My ebooks\Mobipocket in XP.
