Kovid, Thanks for the prompt response!

Two questions --

1) For those of us with XP who have not yet tried to upgrad to 6.12, should we follow the procedure you specify in the quoteback...or should we only do this if the problem occurs?

2) Will the uninstall and deleting C:\Program Files\calibre run any risk of losing any data files?
