Hi,
I've had Calibre for almost six months now and I have diligently updated my software as the new ones came out. However, I went to open my Calibre today and it told me "Python function terminated unexpectedly Folder not valid (error code 1)". The first thing I did was check to see if there was a more recent version than the one I have, and there wasn't. Next, i uninstalled the program and reinstalled it, but I continued to get the same error message. Finally, I tried to install an older version that I know worked the last time I had it installed, to yet again receive a "Python function..." message. I then tried all over again after turning off my antivirus and firewall. Ultimately, I went to the FAQ to try and find a solution and ran the debug. This is what I got:

C:\Users\_____>calibre-debug -g
Python function terminated unexpectedly
Folder not valid<Error Code: 1>
Traceback <most recent call last>:
File "site.py", line 103, in main
File "site.py", line 84, in run_entry_point
File "site-packages\calibre\__init__.py", line 15, in <module>
File "site-package\calibre\constants.py", line 124, in <module>
ValueError: Folder not valid

Please help. I need to add more books to my nook

Thank you.
