Calibre 4.0-4.2 ebook reader shows distorted pages

tope0012 · 10-20-2019, 02:30 PM

I have tried different formats in the reader, but the result is always the same. I even added a text file to my library and opened it on notepad through calibre. The result is also the same. This problem stopped when i re-installed v3.38 but if anyone knows what to do to the v4, the help would be appreciated.

Was there some overwhelming personal need to post essentially the same message in multiple places? Enquiring minds are eager to know.

The first one i posted was vague, so i posted this one with details.

Please read the Forum Guidelines Link is at the bottom of the thread list on every forum.

Splatter (posting the same in more than 1 thread) posting is not acceptable. If you start in the wrong place: Report your (Own ) thread and ask it be Moved -> <forum>

There is nothing wrong with replying to your own Thread or post, to expand or clarify. Or asking a Mod to change the title (New members have some restrictions that will expire in good time, and you can edit your posts)

You could have either edited the original post and then posted to have a look at that post or posted in that thread to clarify.

Anyway, what OS are you running? Is it 32-bit or 64-bit? If it's 64-bit have you tried the 32-bit 4.2?

That's a graphics driver incompatibility with Qt WebEngine. Try updating your drivers, though if you are on windows 7 it might not work at all and you will have to stick with version 3.48 until you can update windows.

Thank you everyone. I have decided to go back to calibre v3.48 until i upgrade to win 10.
