Hello again.

In the normal windows operating mode, the 64-bit Calibre seems to convert books entirely normally. I took an EPUB book and converted it to Mobi.
Then I opened both the EPUB and the Mobi versions up and went in the middle of the EPUB version book and selected some EPUB text.
I search for that in the Moby reader.
And all seem to work normally.
The paragraphs and everything else seemed to be perfectly okay.

So conversion is normal in the 64-bit.

*********************************************

Next up was the variable that you recommended I set to a value of 1.

CALIBRE_NO_NATIVE_FILEDIALOGS

I set this variable to a value of 1.

The 64-bit program still froze in the same way when I attempted to add books.
The 32-bit version worked normally.

By the way – I assumed that it was not necessary to restart Windows in order to get the environmental variable operational. In other words as soon as you complete the edit it's done. That may not be the case. Please let me know if I need to restart Windows after changing and environmental variable. This is beyond my expertise.

ps I restarted windows, and the 64bit still freezes with the env varib set as show above.
