Uninstall, delete C:\\Program Files\\Calibre2
(or wherever you chose to install calibre). Then re-install. And
dont worry, uninstalling will not affect your books/settings/plugins.

That indicates a corrupted install. Since you say you just installed, it means something on your computer is interfering with calibre. Typical culprits are anti virus like programs.
