Can't open Calibre Windows 10

Innula · 12-15-2018, 06:38 PM

Hi

I've just bought a Lenovo IdeaPad, running Windows 10 Professional.

I've installed Calibre for Windows 64 and the install seems to have completed successfully. However, when I try to launch it, it gets as far as trying to initialise the interface and crashes to desktop.

The log says

and that's all. It goes back to the C prompt.

Any suggestions? I've not yet installed a lot else on the computer at the moment -- Firefox, Evernote, LastPass, and that's it.

turn off your Anti virus for a test.

C: where do you see that? Are you trying a command line launch?

First run (in the GUI)M sets up the user environment (configuration folder items) and basic Library
