error: Unhandled exception

library addict · 08-20-2013, 07:16 AM

I keep getting the following error. Calibre is working fine otherwise, but since I've gotten this message more than once I figure there is some underlying problem.

I've tried Google, but could not find any answers.

Spoiler:

Your computer is probably missing propsys.dll

I'd suggest using system restore to try to undo whatever change caused it to go missing.

Or use system file checker: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/termss...le-checker.htm

Thanks.

Also, that traceback indicates you are running some non calibre code, a plugin perhaps? As far as I know calibre doesn't use boot_com_servers.py (which comes from py2exe, which calibre does not use).

It looks like it was SpiderOak (a cloud backup program) that was the culprit. I never would have figured that out on my own (and didn't). Many thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
