Hello all,

I've been using Calibre for several versions for a 1300+ book library. Yesterday, after having what I think were problems related to a failing video card in my Windows Vista 64 Home Premium machine, I swapped the video card and started up several programs, including Calibre. Most things workm although there are still some issues which seem to be related to refresh rate on the monitor [it "loses" the mouse for a while, then catches up to itself]. Most of my software is back working except for a few things in Calibre 7.4.

1. If I click on the Preferences button in the tool bar, NOTHING happens. Esc frees this up. I can get to the drop down menu, and can select / run Start Welcome Wizard and Debug Mode but not Preferences. [I'm trying to edit the list of choices on a custom column].

2. If I try to edit Metadata for one book, same problem. NOTHING happens, but Esc frees my up to do something else. If I select several titles, the Metadata can be edited in the multi edit pop-up window, except Tags.

3. I cannot access the Tag pop-up from anywhere, whether in the individual books, or in editing more than one.

Just in case this was an issue with 7.4, which I installed about the same time as fighting the video card, I reinstalled 7.38. Same behavior.

I may have uninstalled some other component which Calibre uses for these functions, but I don't know what that would be. Ideas? Help? Thank you so much.
