Running on MS Media Center (XP SP3).
Calibre did not start, had to use the command line:
C:\>calibre-debug -c "from calibre.gui2.main
import main; main();"
Couldn't resolve property: linearGradient5167
Traceback (most recent call last):

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'getfilesystemencoding'

After this I was able to start it directly.
Tried few news feeds, none of them successful. First a windows error: "calibre-parallel.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close...". Calibre stays open, then gives this:
Job: Fetch news from Newsweek
error: (10054, 'Connection reset by peer')
Traceback:

The same error "USA Today", ESPN, "NY Times", 0.4.83 worked fine. Last one I tried, was CNN, got an windows error: "calibre.exe has encountered ...". After that I was not able to start it, will later restart the computer and try again.
