Exclamation Calibre Software Problems

Hi All,
I am new to the world of Ebooks having being given a Kindle for Christmas.
I have downloaded and installed (a number of times) Calibre on my PC and continue to have problems. When I am within the application my mouse pointer does not activate any of the actions when clicking on them. I have however discovered that if I first click or double click outside of the open application (say anywhere on my desktop) and then go to the application very often the mouse action works as it ought to. If I stay within the app the operation of the mouse reverts to the original problem i.e. it fails to perform the expected operation. I have to click outside tthe app in order to get the required response from my mouse clicks. It appears that the X-Y co-ordinates for the mouse pointer are being arbitarily offset whilst in the app.
I have (with great difficulty) managed to add many of my Ebooks to the app but operating within Calibre is a pain.
My PC runs Windows XP Professional (SP3) and I have the latest version of Calibre (0.8.37)
I have also tried a 'clean' install without success and of course I have done complete uninstalls before attempting my numerous re-installs.
Has anyone experienced this problem? If so what is the solution?
I would appreciate your help.
Regards,
Ron Harding
