I am afraid it IS a problem with your Windows system. There should be a NUL device on a standard Windows 7 installation, and somehow yours seems to have disappeared. It is just that if it goes missing then Calibre will show it up.
That would make it easy. Its right there, in:

C:\Windows\System32\drivers\null.sys

To confirm this, the C:/boot drive is a SSD - the original system is now on the F: drive (it was copied over when the system was new, a year ago.). The same file, same length (6,144), same create date, same permissions, etc...

I presume this is the correct file, in the correct place?? What am I missing??

I was referred to this site, with registry changes:
http://siebn.de/other/nulldevice/

It's not clear that the changes apply to a Win7 x64 system, though I guess I could apply them and backoff if there is a problem. Seems a little risky.

Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
