It has taken hours to get my ancient software to run on it (like Quicken 2004!) and having FINALLY succeeded, I don't want to start over by changing Windows to an older version. |

That is totally unfair since you probably know enough to figure out what the problem is with my computer which I certainly don't.
Also, that means that whatever is keeping ADE4.5 from working might be specific to my computer. Though the problem began on my old computer. Both are Lenovo products. But the advent of the problems with both programs may have happened at the same time. Hardware? System file? What could I have possibly imported from the old computer that would have impacted a new install of ADE4.5? Just Calibre's library and Roaming Folder. But Peter T. suggested I install the portable version and that works. |

My grandchildren and friends get real books from me as gifts. Indeed, my habit of supplying the young ones with gifts led them to buy a Little Free Library for my front yard so that other kids can enjoy the books they've outgrown! |

Yes, I know. If you don't have a paid subscription their BOT has a whole slew of road block to getting to chat with an agent and then they tell you that none is available at the moment and to come back later!

I didn't mean it in any way patronizingly and I apologize if my reply gave that impression. All I meant was that the latest Calibre is known to work on Windows 10 (and 11), so the problem is something specific to your computer. As the portable install works, probably something in your settings. I'm not actually all that computer savvy either, so it's entirely possible I could not figure it out if it happened to me.

I'm hoping that someone with more familiarity of the various configuration files could jump in here and suggest the next steps. I sense that removing one of them is needed but I'd rather not provide bad advice Sent from my Pixel 7a using Tapatalk |

TO me the only suspicious line in your debug output is
qt.qpa.screen: "Unable to open monitor interface to \\\\.\\DISPLAY1:" "The operation completed successfully." It means Qt is unable to open your monitor/screen. That is probably why the viewer is not coming up. I doubt this has anything to do with configuration files, as this is not something configuration dependent, but since you say calibre portable works, you can try renaming the calibre configuration folder and see if it helps. Go to preferences->miscellaneous->open configuration folder to find the path to the configuration folder. Then quit calibre and rename that folder and then try running the viewer. |
