If these two statements are true:

your wife's computer runs XP, and the same versions/configurations of Nortons, Acronis, and Calibre
you can add books to a calibre library on your wife's computer?

Then the cause of the problem on your computer is probably NOT related to Nortons or Acronis - but something else that runs at startup on your computer but not on your wife's computer.

Piriform's CCleaner has utility tool that provides a user friendly UI for managing taskup tasks, I would use it to see what I had, and use its disable/enable feature to isolate the problem - you'll need to do restarts but on XP especially that should easier than going in and out of Safe Mode. Get the Free version See ==>> https://www.ccleaner.com
