But I doubt that's causing the problem.

About 2.5 million of people run calibre from the standard Windows install folders (Program Files and Program Files (x86), and most are from non English speaking countries, see ==> calibre - Usage Statistics for calibre. Many would have diacritics etc in their user names.

You could try installing the Portable version of calibre - its completely self-contained. If the conversion fails using it, then that would suggest it's not a Windows related issue. Installing the Portable version will not interfere with your installed version - if you install on on a thumb drive you can use it on another computer.

BTW: I can't see your launchpad post - probably because its marked Private to protect an attachment. Not a problem.

Well, the Launchpad thing shouldn't be a problem seeing as it's the exact text as the body of this post and a public domain book from Amazon.

Tried portable, but it gave me this error:


Oh well. Tried it on another account on the same computer which didn't have any non-ASCII in its name, and that worked! Sent it over, and it worked beautifully (save for displaying a couple punctuation marks incorrectly). I guess I'll make do with that for now.
