Hi,
Sorry a newbie here, I have just installed Calibre and opened the application. I went to choose the folder where my books are to scan and add them but I get this error:-

calibre, version 5.31.1
ERROR: Unhandled exception: <b>Exception</b>:File dialog failed (return code 1): Failed to create COM object for file dialog: (HRESULT=0x80040111) 汃獡䙳捡潴祲挠湡潮⁴畳灰祬爠煥敵瑳摥挠慬獳

I have tried searching for, “calibre Failed to create COM object for file dialog,” but not found any results.

Please can someone assist with what I need to look at to resolve this?

Thank you for your help
