I changed your library so that the #virtual_libraries column contains only the word "foo". I then backed up to calibre V2.7 and opened your library. It opened in 62 seconds and I had no trouble looking at book details for a number of books.

The changed metadata.db is here. Note that it is a modification of the one you posted. If you have changed your library after you put that link in dropbox then those changes won't be there. Be sure to make a backup of your metadata.db.

I also note that you are using 32-bit calibre on 64-bit windows. I am using 64-bit calibre. You might want to try using 64-bit calibre, as it can use more memory than the 32-bit version.

Where is the 64-bit calibre?

When I download the one on the website it's always 32-bit.

There are two download options (actually 5

) -- "Windows" and "Windows 64bit".

It is the one marked as Windows 64bit.

It never occured to me to scroll further down

I have now downloaded the 64-bit Calibre ... Can I run that one and keep all the settings I already have?

Yes... you can move transparently between the two; but only run one at a time.
