Calibre closed after few seconds
First of all, sorry about my english. I hope you cant understant me.
I´m trying to run Calibre on a computer With Windows XP SP3. I can install calibre without problems, and when I lauch the program, it woks for a few seconds... then, it closes. That happend again and again. I tried disabling antivirus, cleaning windows registry, intalling a pair of older versions of calibre... even instaling portable calibre in a USB... but the same, only few secons working. I run debug mode and this is the result: Spoiler:
How can I solve the problem?. Thank you. Last edited by theducks; 01-07-2012 at 02:44 PM. Reason: Wrapped in Spoiler |

you have a seriously corrupted Windows fonts folder
The only fonts in my XP SP3 are name.fon and name.ttf you seem to have Apple fonts that start with a dot (*inux hidden notation) and other odd files. |

Thanks for the info!!
I´ve cleaned all things are supposed not to be fonts, but I still have the same problem. But the list of wrong things is now a little shorter: Spoiler:
The problem seems to be now only in a file, desktop.ini, but I havent found it in C:/WINDOWS/Fonts folder... How can I solve this problem. Thanks for your help. |

Well, thank you everybody... It seems that the problem is solved. After cleaning my "fonts" folder, I didn´t erase and reinstall calibre. Yesterday I did it and now it works. The funny thing is that when I run calibre in debug mode, I get the same error message than before, but now doesn´t close and seems to work OK.
Thanks again!!! |
