LibreOffice does not start any more

I have LibreOffice installed on several Windows and 3 Linux machines.
On a Dell Vostro 3500, Win 7 Pro, freshly reinstalled 2-3 months ago,
On this particular machine I noticed a few days ago, that the software "Calibre" is
constantly crashing and I get an error message saying:
"No such module as propsys.dll".

Internet search shows, that this is a Microsoft system file.
TODAY I noticed, that LibreOffice is not starting at all (tried all sorts of things).

Is there any word about this kind of trouble?
* I do not know where to download that kind of system file (net says: DO NOT download it from unofficial sites).
* I would like to do a "system recovery", but noticed, that setting those recovery points is OFF by default.
     And since I reinstalled the system recently, there are no points I can the system return to.

Does this leave reinstalling LibreOffice as the only option? Will it help?
(Reinstalling did not solve the problem with Calibre)

Thank you.
Thomas

Did you try running sfc /scannow from an admin command prompt. That is
what seems to show up in the searches I've just done on propsys.dll
problems.
