Help! Error During Clibre Startup

Read1stLines · 12-31-2019, 07:46 PM

When starting Calibre I get the following error. Once I dismiss the notification Calibre seems to open fine but then Calibre closes unexpectedly when opening a book or searching an author. The little spinning circle in the lower right if the screen indicates a running job but none are shown when clicking that to open the running jobs window. Even though nothing appears, I've tried stopping all non-device jobs but does no help.

calibre, version 4.7.0

Normally run 64-bit version. I just installed 32-bit version and get the same error and running job indicator. Same behavior: Crashes when opening a book.

You have a hard drive that seems to be going bad.
