Hi BetterRead. I disabled all the startups and rebooted. Then using msconfig I mentioned above, I re-enabled groups of 5 in the startup, rebooted and tried calibre, modifying the metadata. If that did not crash I added the next 5. Guess what? After all were enabled and no crashes, I scratched my head. After returning the msconfig to normal bootup and rebooting, I tried calibre and the system crashed when playing around with the metadata.

My son said there are other things that start in regular mode and not in safe mode that don't appear in the msconfig "startup" tab. I then threw up my hands and said it was a waste of time and effort.

I am not that versed in computer programing and such to be searching for the bug. PS: I did try the debug mode but nothing showed up because the program crashed.
