  • close calibre;
  • delete the configuration directory (its normally in %APPDATA%);
  • uninstall calibre,
  • run a lightweight registry cleaner to get rid of the calibre related entries that Windows creates.
That won't remove your libraries, but it will remove all preference settings, customisations, plugins etc.

Huzzah!! First person that actually was able to help me. Just got Calibre Portable, wiped the QT engine variable garbage and reset. Hooked up my library to the portable and it worked without issue.

Now to find out what previous Calibre danglers is causing the issue. I will follow through all the places you mentioned here and wipe them. Then try reinstalling. Thank you, half way to finding the issue.
