SOrted out..

I could grt to it from my laptop - (The database is on a shared nas)

When I looked at my desktop there was a hidden version of Calibre after switching to it all was well.

Any chance of not allowing more than one version running ??

Regards,

Keep up the good work

If you go to Preferences - Interface and uncheck Enable system tray icon then when you hit the big red X calibre won't try to hide it will just exit the program.

The program was not on the screen in any live window but appeared as a process in Task manager.
Somehow the process was still running in the background.
Stopping it worked.

System tray icon is not enabled.
