|app| freezes when I click on anything?
|app| freezes/crashes occasionally?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are three possible things I know of, that can cause this:
* You recently connected an external monitor or TV to your computer. In this case, whenever |app| opens a new window like the edit metadata window or the conversion dialog, it appears on the second monitor where you dont notice it and so you think |app| has frozen. Disconnect your second monitor and restart calibre.

* You are using a Wacom branded mouse. There is an incompatibility between Wacom mice and the graphics toolkit |app| uses. Try using a non-Wacom mouse.

* If you use RoboForm, it is known to cause |app| to crash. Add |app| to
the blacklist of programs inside RoboForm to fix this.
* Sometimes if some software has installed lots of new files in your fonts folder, |app| can crash until it finishes indexing them. Just start |app|, then leave it alone for about 20 minutes, without clicking on anything. After that you should be able to use |app| as normal.
