Converting from epub to pdf fails

[Frizzell]

Please Help Me

I can no longer convert any of my epubs to pdf for some reason. I could see if it was just one book once in awhile, but now it's all my books.

One consistent thing I notice within the 'Details' option of the failed conversion window, is that near the bottom of the log, it always says "index_split_006.html: Loading not complete after 120 (or 60) seconds, aborting." If this is the crux of the problem, how does one go about working around it? If it is not the problem, then what else can it be and how do I regain the ability to convert consistently to pdf?

I have enclosed a screenshot of the error, and have pasted the 'Details' below this message.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

It sounds like somethingis interfering with calibre on your system. Try running in safe mode and see if it works there first.
