Before that update was added to Lenovo's site, they were about 9 months behind NVidia's conservative driver.

Though the portable version of calibre working and multiple programs being unable to open ePub files suggests something in your Windows setup and not a driver issue.

Well, I just posted that the problem with Calibre is resolved and wasn't a Windows issue. Did you download the driver on NVidia's site? My knowlege is pretty minimum thus I've stuck to letting Lenovo decide what needs to be updated.

Your old PC might have had a HD starting to fail, thus corrupting the Calibre config folder, you simply brought the corruption over to your new PC.

Or
You got a Malware infestation.

IIRC You can NOT just copy Kindle or Adobe (files) to a new PC.
They are made specific to the PC on import (I tried restoring my Kindle stuff after a video driver issue faked me out. Not allowed, everything had to come from my Amazon account )

I downloaded the driver file from NVidia's site. Unlike my laptop where the two video chipsets are on the motherboard and work together using the same builtin display and external video ports, the desktop has a separate video card so no need to wait for Lenovo to supply the driver.
