Mystery solved. Thanks to all!! And thanks to another post elsewhere in the Forums that suggested the problem resulted from an anti-piracy setting from Acronis True Image software. If it is on your pc, you have to disable the anti-piracy software setting in order to add books to Calibre. Probably a new feature since I have had Acronis and Calibre on my pc for many years now. Leave it to one piece of software getting in the way of another, without first warning the user when installing. But at least the problem of adding books has been addressed; now to finding out if any of the other processes of Calibre have also been compromised. I appreciate all the help from those who have contributed.
