I have tried everything I can think of including disabling AV and all add on security systems. Nothing seems to work. I waited through the last three updates to Calibre and am now on version 2.59 and still getting the same results :

Not sure what it means by 'An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions'. If this is something to do with the firewall I would think disabling the firewall would allow it to work (it doesn't). Is there some place special that the 'socket' must be enabled? Any help would be appreciated as I cannot get my books to my Kindle as it stands without a hardwire between the pc and kindle.
Thaks,
