ok -

null.sys was there
registry was in place.

Solution (at least for me)

go to:
system > administrative tools > Device Manager
under View - "show hidden devices"
under "Non-Plug and Play Drivers" find Null
In my system, Null was offline - error 22.

Try restarting - well this is Windows, so it won't work. Don't know why.

right mouse and uninstall Null
reboot
Null is now gone from device manager (though the file is still on the system)

Get down to "Non-Plug and Play Drivers", right mouse, and "scan for hardware changes"

Null now returns.... Calibre works. All is well - until the next time....
