Hi! I'm trying to get Calibre to run without crashing on startup. I've been working with it since v8.43, and getting the same errors. I was getting the font errors, but have cleaned that up. Now, with a fresh install (completely uninstalled, deleted the library entirely, deleted the program folder, and ran a registry cleanup) of 8.50, I am still getting the object:killtimers error that other people have mentioned with older versions.

Specs:
Windows XP SP3
v8.50
no antivirus installed
Calibre is 'allowed' in Windows Firewall

I'm not sure what else to try. Calibre in every version so far runs great on my other computer (a newer XP netbook). Is this computer just too old, even though I've kept up with all of its updates?

Suggestions, please?
