Calibre freezing PC
Hi, I've just installed version 0.8.62 on my Windows XP SP3 PC, but on running it, the PC starts to run EXTREMELY slowly. The results of "calibre-debug -g" are as follows:

C:\Documents and Settings\Sunil>calibre-debug -g

Also if I end the calibre process and try to restart it, it does not launch and I cannot even kill the new process that starts up, so I must reboot my PC to get rid of it.

I have tried un-installing and running a registry cleaner (ccleaner) before re-installing, but this does not help.

I have this same version installed on my Windows 7 laptop and I love it, so I would really like to have it sorted out on my desktop.

Can anyone help?

Thanks,
Sunil.

Calibre is choking on your (damaged) windows fonts.

The only way to fix Calibre is to uninstall all of those damaged fonts.
