I use Kindle 1 and have used Calibre 0.6.13 to manage my library. I love the program and all of the things it can do.

I recently did an UPGRADE (not clean install) of Windows Vista to Win 7. I uninstalled Calibre 0.6.13 and Backed up my Calibre Library before the upgrade.

I decided that when I reinstalled Calibre in Win 7, I would try the upgraded 0.6.55.

Now I can't get my library back. I tried putting it where the preferences path said it would be. Doesn't show up. I even uninstalled 0.6.55, went back to 0.6.13 and tried to put my library in first and link to via preferences. Didn't work. Tried installing and then linking - same problem.

I have hundreds of books in my original library and would very much like to be able to use it in Windows 7.

Any help would be sincerely appreciated.

Amy
