My Suggestion, Windows XP and Calibre
Seems that there are a lot of gotchas running Windows XP and Calibre. Best bet it to DUMP XP (instead of trying tof ix what's not going to be fixed) and move to Windows 8.1 (install Classic Start Menu) and you'll be good to go.

I am still using XP (SP3) and have had no problems with Calibre v2 so far despite using Calibre a lot.

What are these problems you have come accross?

I've not come across any problems as I run Windows 7 and Windows 8.1. The transition to 2.0 went smoothly because I had all my plugins updated ahead of time.

I use XP a lot also and have not yet hit issues.

W8.1 on a P4? even with 1 to 2G RAM?
Windows has always wanted MORE and FASTER.
Ubuntu is playing catchup (used to run fast on <512M)

What about antique chipset drivers?
