Hello,

I was using calibre 0.4.83 on Windows XP and hadn't launch it for a long time. Tonight i started it, and was informed of a more recent version 0.4.143 available. I downloaded the new version and run the installer. When asked where the database should be stored, I pointed the installer to the directory containing the existing library1.db file.

When calibre started, my library did not contain any book (while I had about 30 of them before, I think).

Did I miss a step during the upgrade? How can I have access to my "old database" again?

Thanks for your help,

VKV
