Calibre has always worked flawlessly for me until recently when it started crashing during attempts to edit metadata. I would always get an error message that 'Calibre has stopped working' and suggestions to either close the program or let Windows find a solution. I just closed it, but then the same thing would happen the next time I tried to edit a book's metadata.
Yesterday I decided to try running Task Manager and ending any processes that I thought 'might' be interfering with my Calibre software. It worked and I was able to successfully edit metadata on several books with no crashes. I didn't reboot or anything -- and being somewhat challenged with this stuff, wasn't really sure what I was doing lol.
Then I decided to come here to see if there were any others experiencing my problem and to search for perhaps a more permanent solution. Adding and converting books has always worked just fine -- it was only the editing part that caused me headaches, but I can live with working with Calibre in 'safe mode' or using Task Manager prior to starting up Calibre.
