I tried to suppress fonts, like arab or coreen, but they are all protected. So I decided to try the renaming of this damned atmdf.dll file. It was quite hard to do, because the 2 actives version (system32 and sysWoW64 are protected by
'trusted installer'. I dound the instructions, changed the 'owner' of them, and then gave me FULL capabilty.

Then i renamed both files to atmdf_save.dll, and restarted the system.

IT WORKS !!!!!

After reboot, when I start Calibre, I now get 15 secondes to start the
main screen, but the system clock is still running all the time; There is no more system lock (clock was stopped for 18 seconds before)

YOUPIE !!!!

I hate Adobe. It is always requesting to 'update' Flash, and if we do as
COMMANDED, it installs some nutty programs. You have to use the direct
Flash site to load it by hand and refuse the intruder. And it start again 3 days later. (I just disabled the check in Firefox to get rid of this)

Sorry for this bitter comment. But I am happy with Calibre now!
