After successfully using Calibre for many years, I have started having issues. Whenever I try to open my EPUB files in calibre's viewer I get the message:
calibre, version 0.9.27
ERROR: Could not open ebook: [Error 5] Access is denied: u'C:\\Users\\Name\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\calibre_j s95_t\\sshqee_ebook_iter'

I'm using Windows 7 64bit and the 64bit version of calibre. I had not updated or changed any calibre settings, though I have since updated it in an attempt to fix it. I read where this error can be a conflict issue with anti-virus software, but I don't believe that is the case here as my anti-virus is set to manual updates only and the program has firewall/anti-virus exceptions. Additionally, I have checked my AppData folder permissions and everything looks okay on that end. So...I'm not sure what else to try. The program works when running as administrator...but I have never needed to do that in the past, and when running as administrator, other weird things happen...like calibre will no longer allow me to drag and drop books into the program. Any help is much appreciated
