Hi everyone!
I'm having problems downloading metadata and covers.
I use Calibre Portable 1.20 on a pendrive on 3 pcs (one with Vista and two with XP SP3). On one XP I can't download metadata nor covers. It says (after 8-10 secs wait) "error downloading metadata. Click show details for more details". But there is no "show details" button!
I presume this has something to do with permissions, because, accessing in safe mode, I could download without problem (but still no show details button).

This is what I tried: shutting off both antivirus (AVG) and firewall (Windows), reinstalling Calibre Portable, logging as admin, changing Calibre Temp path, changing timeout and maybe something else.
Anyone has some idea?
Thanks in advance.
Roby
