I've been using calibre for awhile with no real issues but since the last 2 updates every time I try to open the program up I get an error message about corrupt files "your calibre database seems to be corrupted. Do you want calibre to try and repair it automatically? If you say No, a new empty calibre library will be created." When I say yes, it says "the database repair failed. Starting with a new empty library." Then I get error that says "Bad database location u'C:\\(the location I renamed). calibre will now quit."
If I say no, it asks me to create a new location for the files but whatever I call it I get another error that says same as above, "bad database......calibre will now quit." I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program, still get same errors. Not exactly sure what to do next. I used the program earlier today and it was fine.
This is the second time it's happened in the past 2 days. First it works fine, after I convert a few books,close the program then reopen it I get these errors. Anyone have any ideas???
