HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAAA

I am sooooooooo funny and stupid I amaze myself.

Although I don't know if anyone else will ever have this problem... the idea struck me on my way back from work this morning as I was stuck one of the ever-present accidents on the highway.

Before the problem started I watched a movie (Prince of Persia) with my wife on my projector, which is my 4th monitor.

Even though my projector has been off since, Windows still thinks it's there for multiple monitor purpose (using UltraMon) (I guess I should disable it not just shut it off... but that's besides the point.

Anyway the edit metadata dialog window was opening on that projector instead of on one of my 3 regular 22" monitors, so I didn't see it, but since you can't work on Calibre when that dialog box is open, it just seems frozen.

I am very dissappointed guys... I mean you really should've know this was the problem... I mean I'm sure I'm not the first guy trying to edit book metadata on a 120-inch projection on his wall? :-)

Thanks a million I was scared my database was messed up or that I made too big of a library.... thanks.
