Calibre doesn't open
Calibre stopped opening on my laptop; when I try to open it, literally nothing happenes. So I restarted the laptop hoping that would fix it. It didn't. Next I uninstalled Calibre and reinstalled it, then restarted the laptop again. Still nothing. Then I tried the compatibility troubleshooter, but it seems to only troubleshooter for Windows 7, 8, and Vista (I have Windows 10 Home). I looked at the FAQ and deleted the metadata.db file mentioned. Still no help. Lastly, I tried the calibre-debug in command prompt, entered -g and the prompt told me "NameError: name "g" is not defined.
I'm at a loss, does anyone know how to resolve this? |

Turn off your AV, reboot, and try calibre. Also try safe mode in case something you are running is causing a problem. If calibre does work on your system, you'll have to stop everything running one-by-one (reboot inbetween) until you find what's stopping calibre. |
