calibre wont open
I have used calibre successfully on my dell laptop for a number of years with no problem. I tried opening it today and got an error message to say python function temrinated unexpectedly cannot import name qvariant error code 1. Any suggestions before I try to reinstall? I have been having problems with malware and have been running tests etc. Not sure if this has impacted.

uninstall calibre, delete c:\program files\calibre2 and re-install calibre. Doing so will not affect your books/settings.

I too have a similar problem - calibre won't open - 'Python function terminated unexpectedly (5, 'Create File','Access is denied')(Error code 1)
Problem looks similar to yours. I am running Windows 7 and Firefox.

Hope someone can help us with this.

There was a similar thread back in November 2010 re version 7.37 working but 7.38 not working, but thread just stopped with no successful answer.

The original poster has already been helped with this problem. See post 2 above. In the future you might want to start a new thread instead of adding a post to an already resolved thread.

Emphasis mine.

Dwanthy's post was in regards to the original posters problem. It was solved.
Yours is a different problem, so start a new thread...
