It all worked so nicely and then Calibre started to freeze.

Windows 7 64bit, Fujitsu Lifebook laptop, Intel Core i5-3230M, 2,6GHz, 4GB RAM, 750GB HDD, Intel HD.
Calibre portable 1.33.

I copied the old library over but it was not possible to simply rename and use it as Calibre Library or to switch to it.

Well, I started to move folders into the actual library and asked Calibre to restore the db.
That worked.

Repeated it with another bunch and so on.
I removed settings folder first, not sure if this was necessary though.

But then it started to show error messages. Mainly something like "calibre.exe stopped" etc.

I even tried to run it with Zoomtext disabled. No help.
I am really stuck.
The hardware is ok, the OS is new, up until 30-40000 books it went ok.

I just don't get it.
Look at the title-folder shown at the top in your error message
Now look at the bottom line in the same message


This leads me to believe you have multi-os file system artifacts (been there.) 2 or more entries, varying only by case (not at all valid in XP, sometimes SHOWS in explorer, but not valid to call from a program (Calibre), which expects Windows case insensitive rules.

You may have accessed the Calibre Library by a Case sensitive OS (like Linux) or used a Network on a share/cloud, leading to multiple, case different files. Calibter expects only one of any extension to be in the folder
