There is no question that when this program is working, it is great. But when it is not working it is a nightmare.

I deleted the file you said. Yes, then I was asked for a oplace to put the new library. At leasdt the program staryted. Then mopre programs. I think they are all related to the database.

I tried to convert books I have converted before. I got error mesdsages that the metadata could not be read.

Such as:

Aldiss, Brian - White Mars _with Roger Penrose_.pdf
Traceback (most recent call last):

My apologies, for some reason I thought you were on a Mac.

I assume you are running as an administrator on your XP box. Can you run a chkdisk on your hard drive? Perhaps it is corrupted or something.

Do you have some type of virus software like McAfee or something? If so, disable it and try again. It may causing problems.

Ahh thanks, itimpi, I will store that in my main memory for future reference! I knew there had to be a way to get calibre to create a new library folder!

I've only seen this error when there's an antivirus program blocking calibre from accessing its database.
