When I try to go to this url my browser says

Not Found
The requested URL was not found on this server.

Sigil hangs after opening an epub, as does the calibre viewer and editor.

That url is one of the XML namespace things in the content.opf.

Neither Sigil nor the calibre editor are showing any issues with hanging after opening.

A quick Wireshark session does not appear to show either trying to access that address.

Which is why it's not actually an url. And nothing is trying to access it as such. The XML schema for a namespace URI, might be kept at that URI, but it's not required to be (and definitely isn't in the case of the opf namespace schema identifier). The namespace URI is not used by the xml parser to look up any information.

Whatever's hanging your programs .... it ain't that.

Ok, thanks.

What is common among Sigil, the Calibre viewer, and the Calibre editor? They all hang regardless of whether I double click on a file or just run them straight off.

I did make a change to my system today (Windows 10), I added another user account. This is the first time I've done that. My next guess is that some folder has had its permissions changed? I checked the tmp folder; in the environment variables I have TMP and TEMP set to D:\tmp but its permissions are full control for me (and everyone). The new account can use Sigil and Calibre's editor and viewer no problem. My account is in the Administrators, the new account is not. (Maybe I should try adding another account and have it in the Administrators group.)

This won't be the first time I've had to reinstall windows to fix some weird problem; last time it was because nothing on my computer could connect to eclipse.org. Wiping and reinstalling fixed that.

Tried that; no cigar.
