I recently installed Calibre 3.9 (64-bit version) and tried to open it for the first time today. I got a database corruption error and a question about whether to rebuild. I chose "yes" and then got the following error:

Restoring database failed...
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "site-packages\calibre\db\restore.py", line 123, in run
File "site-packages\calibre\db\restore.py", line 239, in create_cc_metadata

File "site-packages\calibre\db\backend.py", line 266, in __init__
CantOpenError: CantOpenError: unable to open database file

Nothing has changed about my computer and I've been using Calibre for at least eight years. I've tried everything I can think of to fix the problem. I've even tried moving all my books to another drive, uninstalling Calibre and trying to re-install and it won't allow it. Any suggestions? I'm fairly computer literate, but I'm at a total loss.
