Okay, I am still unable to get it to run a custom script from the home desktop. I was unsuccessful in trying to run it from the command line. I decided to remove Calibre and start over.

I had major difficulty getting the uninstall to complete - it would stall out withe the 'updating registry' window staring at me. Ultimately I deleted the Calibre directory, restarted the computer, and then installed Calibre 0.5.14 over the beta 0.6.12. That installed fine (but still wouldn't run the custom script). I then uninstalled and this time it uninstalled fine. Restarted the computer again, then reloaded Calibre 0.5.14. No dice, still won't run the custom script.

I did see that my original preferences are still there after deleting, uninstalling, and then re-installing. Is this correct? I wanted to completely start over but I can't seem to get there.

I would give up but this is the machine that I need to use to send my Kindle these newsfeeds via email when I travel.

Any thoughts?
