That is not possible.
Calibre can not handle any form of maintenance. It freezes and/or crashes.
To make a long story short, it is possible that Calibre is fine and it is a hardware problem or a hardware plus OS problem or a problem with a screen magnifyer or all together or nothing ..
I can not test it without the magnifyer anyway.
On the laptop there is Windows 7 and a 64bit newest version of this software.
Calibre is not the only software that has problems but with Calibre the problems are the obvious.
It does not have to be the .db - the newest trick are memory errors (though the only changes from when there were none to now is the amount of entries, sometimes the requested operation (e.g. sort, search etc.) will be executed anyway and sometimes I have to completely close the programme and start again.
However, this is a long and complicated story.
My hope now is that if I start from scratch on a new system I can avoid problems or at least see when they start to show up.

Try renaming the config folder (with calibre not running) and then start calibre (it will build a fresh config folder)

You mean the setting folder (running Calibre Portable)?
And I leave the library as it is?
I can try but I am quite sure it will not work and Calibre will crash again.
But I'll give it a try, thanks.
