Only other thing I can think of is a long-term (hour?) cold boot.
Or double-checking your sandboxing rules (if any) in your AV/Firewall. Calibre has sub-programs and it's possible one of them is denied/restricted. |

since the dawn of time. bummer, i figured a developer or two out there would have a trick up their sleeve. well, if anyone has any other ideas, i'm all ears...... and a big 'Thank You' to all you for all the brain storming and assassination plans. Apparently this little devil is a slippery one.

Sure, will do.. However, I originally exchanged messages with Kovid (he was the 'developer' I checked with that I noted in my original post - didn't use his name though). I tried everything he suggested and then he said he didn't know of any more solutions. So, I'm not holding my breathe, but I'll wait anyway.

Have you looked in Event Viewer to see if there are any entries there applicable to calibre closing?
Maybe use some of the SysInternals tools to monitor what is happening. |

My eyes also narrowed when I saw the entries for Roxio - its one of those programs that has a reputation for running interference, assuming you use it and its easy to reinstall then you could trying getting uninstalling it just to remove suspicion. Quote:
My only 'new' suggestion is to do an inplace reinstall of Windows 7. I've fixed a few peoples intractable problems that way - I'm a volunteer at the local govt 'computer help centre'. And I've used it on my own system. Its a process rather than a one click fix - but I have a suspicion you'd probably prefer that anyway. Here's a couple of how to links, I've followed the one from Brink at sevenforums, I'm sure Fred Langa's is just as good - I suspect the only difference is style. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials...r-install.html http://windowssecrets.com/newsletter...ive-reinstall/ My experience is that takes about a day to complete - that includes downloading the Windows 7 SP1 ISO from MS and then downloading and applying the subsequent updates. After I did it on my system a few things came back that I'd forgotten I'd even lost A couple of applications needed to be knocked back into shape (eg Firefox) but 99% were just as I had them. BR |

@ Peter T… Nothing in event viewer… no dice. Thanks though.
@ DoctorOhh… Nope, didn’t work. @ BetterRed: - Yes, this is my first time “using” Calibre. Never used it before. I have installed and uninstalled caliber 1.7.0 about 5 times now (cleared temp & temp internet files before last 3 installs just to make sure those weren’t creating problem). So, the first install 2 days ago was a fresh, new clean install of v1.7.0, no upgrading. - Ya, I know Roxio is a trouble maker. I’ve dealt with that before. I have another idea myself, but if that doesn’t work, I may try deleting Roxio, but honestly I don’t think that’s the issue. - As far as a reinstall on win 7, heck no. Not worth the trouble for Calibre. I’ve done installs & reinstalls with windows from 3.x to Win 8 many, many times in my day. Just not worth the hassle. Besides I’ve seen too many win reinstalls go bad in my time, so I typically stick with the full, new, fresh kind. But thanks for the idea anyway. |

When I looked closer and realized that Calibre portable did not work for you I knew suggestion would fail too.
Since your setup seems to be ill in some manner and you don't want to start fresh the only thing I could suggest is installing linux as a dual boot and running calibre from the linux install. |

But I have another idea. In here http://manual.calibre-ebook.com/cust...ment-variables there is an environment variable listed called CALIBRE_NO_NATIVE_FILEDIALOGS - I've no idea what it does or what values it accepts but it might be worth trying, I'm reticent to play with it because I am not sure what to expect of it.

I forgot about the FAQ on the subject. It might be worth a review.

@BetterRed... maybe it was just a win install hiccup that won't be rectified until win is reloaded (seen those before), but I'm not willing to reload win at this point given my past exeperience, the large amount of time it takes to reload & config my system the way it is, and the cost/benefit - but thanks forthe idea. And ya, I've had to do the "go with the re-install" b/c a full wipe wasn't possible before and occasionally it works well, but more than not problems will creep up or at least that's been my experience. So, not willing to do that. Roxio option did not fix the problem.
@DoctorOhh... Already went through the FAQ as noted previously. And thanks for the dual op sys option, but that's not an option at this point. Thanks anyways everyone. I don't have any more time to waste on this project. I'll just for go it for now. There are always other options. ...cheers |
