('Windows', '7', '6.1.7601')

Windows: ('7', '6.1.7601', 'SP1', 'Multiprocessor Free')
I am running a 32 bit version of calibre but the computer is 64.
Anyone got a suggestion?

I have no Win 7 machines left here now so don't know what updates may have been applied, but in my experience the ones that most commonly cause problems are driver updates, particularly network interface card ones (and also video ones). It may be the network card because, for example, when Calibre starts and does its check for updates for itself and plugins that there is some sort of conflict with the card and any updated driver.
However, I would expect that other applications that do such a check would show similar symptoms as you are experiencing with Calibre??
If it is the issue then is fixed by:
If the network card driver was updated or you cannot determine if the network card driver was updated or not, then go to Control Panel>Device Manager>Network Adapter; select your adapter and go to Drivers Tab and select roll back driver which will reinstall the previous driver. Test Calibre starts, if it does good, if it doesn't then in Device manager restore the latest driver with Update driver....
