Hiya - I just joined cos I've got the error code 1 message on Windows 7, no software changes but I have just changed broadband. Clicked on Calibre which i use all the time and I got the Python function terminated unexpectedly......calibre-zy1ll (Error Code: 1) message whenever I try to launch the program. I uninstalled it and reinstalled made no difference.
I then read the old thread on this subject and did as KG suggested, ie. uninstalled and also deleting Calibre 2 and then reinstalled. No difference. Same error code message.
I can't open the program so I don't know how I can change the config variable as KG suggested. I don't see a way of trying to tweak the CALIBRE_CONFIG_DIRECTORY. And I might find that kind of thing a bit difficult in any case.
Anyone got any advice for the less technically savvy?
(I'm thinking of maybe using Revo uninstaller and uninstalling anything to do with Calibre (presumably it deletes the registry entries as well) and the Calibre library and then trying to install.) That would be kind of last ditch but as I can't imagine life without Calibre....
Or unintalling and maybe going back to a much earlier version of Calibre...
