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.

FAQ - calibre is not starting on Windows?
And the next FAQ item -
calibre freezes/crashes occasionally?
Added: To get a fresh install of calibre (as opposed to a Repair) you must first uninstall it. When you uninstall calibre your libraries and settings are retained. Might be worth while getting a fresh download too - just in case.
