Hey,
I have been using Calibre for years and enjoy using it very much. I run my copy of Calibre on a Flash Drive (San Disk 64 GB USB 3.0) which I misplaced around December. I updated to the Newest version of Calibre portable when I found it yesterday. To my dismay, when I tried to launch the Calibre portable app it didn't seem to load. I forgot about it but when I brought up task manager I found that the calibre task was running. I ended it and tried again with the same result.
I deleted the Calibre portable app, installed & tried to run it again. No Dice. I poked around on this forum for a while and found that if I wanted help I should probably run the Calibre-debug -g script (forgive me if that's not the right word). Below I've pasted the Debug log. Time stamps were added by me.

Before anyone asks, here's a few points:
1.) Although this is a flash drive, other portable apps run just fine without difficulty.
2.) While I was running this debug session no other portable app was running and I did not access the Flash Drive
3.) Although this is a corporate computer and as such I can not disable the anti-virus, I have run older versions of Calibre using this Flash drive on this very same computer without difficulty.
I did spend several hours reading through various forums on the internet, if this is a known issue with an easy solution, I apologize, but I didn't see it.
Thank you for your help
