Error when starting Calibre 0.9.9

[kcart1]

I'm using windows XP and installed Calibre 0.9.9 for Windows but when starting the program I have this message,

Python function terminated unexpectedly
Failed to load the Progress Indicator plugin: DLL load failed: This application has
failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling
the application may fix this problem. (Error Code: 1)

.


Re installed the program the same problem.
Any solution for this problem or any bug file for fixing it.
Thanks

You may have corrupted something in the configuration folder
You might try renaming:

C:\Documents and Settings\<your logon name>\Application Data\calibre

to:

C:\Documents and Settings\<your logon name>\Application Data\calibre.old

[/CODE]
and see if it starts.
renaming/deleting will disable all plugns and settings.

I renamed the Calibre folder to Calibre.old and the program starts.

That proves something in the folder was bad.
Kovid would need to help if you need to recover other settings that were saved there. Somewhere down the line, you can delete the .old folder

I've tried renaming:

Well, that test proved that there was not a corrupt calibre configuration.

Other possibilities (all with your laptop's configuration), Anti-virus/firewall blocking, not the official Calibre download, the PATH (variable) has a different Python before Calibre
here is mine (XP pro) for reference

PATH=C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\Program Files\Support Tools\;C:\Program Files\ATI Technologies\ATI.ACE\Core-Static;C:\WINDOWS\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0;C:\Program
