Need Help With Installation
Hi, I'm new to calibre. I am trying to install for 1st time. Dialog box during set up says "determining disk space, can take up to 5 minutes". I waited 20 minutes and the install is still determing disk space. I tried to reboot and redownload calibre, but the same thing occurred second time. Can anyone help? Thank you.

Step 1: find the calibre forum.
Hint: it's a few entries down on the list. |

What OS are you installing on (I'm guessing Windows)? How old is your computer? Which Calibre version are you trying to install?
The "determining disk space" phase has traditionally taken a long time due to the type of files Calibre is made up of, but has recently improved quite a bit due to some restructuring. If you're trying to install the lastest release on a moderately modern computer, it shouldn't take more than a couple of minutes at most. |

Other things that affect installation speed:
1) Anti-virus software (overly) aggressiveness setting 2) other CPU/bus intensive programs running (games, video, file shares...) 3) Small RAM size (IMHO s/b >640M for XP, >1.5G Vista) to reduce VM usage |
