Frank I suspect your calibre configuration is seriously compromised - possibly as result of the disk crash. When you uninstall and reinstall calibre it does not alter the configuration information - this is intentional.
The config data location can be ascertained by going to Preferences-Miscellaneous->Open config... (the last button) open it and leave it open whilst you close calibre. Now back out to the parent folder (Alt/UpArrow) and rename the folder you came from to something like calibre.old.
Then uninstall all versions of calibre, make sure the caloibre folders in Program Files & Program Files (X86) are gone. Then install the latest 64 bit - this will be a fresh install with the welcome wizard. It will give you a fresh configuration - now tell calibre where you're library is - hopefully the window size problems will have gone - if not then
You would have lost any customising and plugins - they are in calibre.old - but it might be better to start over rather than copying bits and pieces from there
