I confess to having wondered if there might be some problematic hardware component in my Lenovo ThinkCentre as this unit was sold as refurbished and is no longer made. It looks brand new and all the tests and scans I ran that are meant to detect problems found none. Truth is the PC is lightening fast and runs all my other software without a single problem. And my old Lenovo ThinkPad ran all these programs without problems until a Win10 update created havoc.
Since Aquila Reader works without any problems and the mobile version of Calibre works without a problem, I believe that it is a Windows problem.
Unfortunately, the public library uses OverDrive which relies on an Adobe product that is no longer updated or supported and clearly doesn't work in newer Windows versions.
Since I started with a clean install of Win11Pro and the problems were there from the start and also occur, even when booted in safe mode, whatever the conflict is has not been revealed.
I'm still passionate about Calibre and while I remain disappointed in not being able to resolve the problem, I've passed on details of the problems I've encountered here and with OverDrive (about Adobe) and will be gratefully using Calibre's portable version!
