save to disk gets stuck

[hobbix]

I'm using version 1.3 (on win xp). If I indicate that I want to save* books to disk, Calibre remains stuck in "collecting data, please wait ..." Even if I only want to save one book.

Also the following happens. A process called parallel.exe with sub-process ntsd.exe is "active". Both processes have no processor activity and after aborting the adding or even after closing calibre both processes remain to exist. (And if I try it again more of these processes arise and remain)

In previous versions of calibre I never tried to save books to disk therefore I would not know if it is just this version or if there is something else wrong.

Anyone have an idea?

The save works OK here, but I'm on Win 7

AFAIK ntsd.exe is the Microsoft symbolic debugger - I would guess it's kicked in because an exception has occurred, parallel.exe is a normal part of calibre - it seems to kick in whenever there's work to be done.

Does the parallel.exe run as child of calibre.exe - that's what I see here when I do a save. I see it via Process Explorer - its goes when the save completes

I tried it on an other pc (Vista) and there it works as it should. Don't know what the problem is on the first pc, a fresh install would probably solve this problem but I do not want to do this now. So I will use the second pc. Advantage: instant back-up ;-)

Anyway: thanks for you reply.
