You might try removing nv.cfg from your NewViews program directory. Run NewViews again which will recreate the nv.cfg file which will set NewViews back to factory defaults.
Change the Options in the NewViews shell and set:
Fast Access Off
Keyboard Polling Off
Maximum EMS in KBytes 8192
Crash Recovery ON
Once set go back to Books and then change the default path to your books to 
NVdata using the forward slash key (/) and select drives with D and /E to expand NVdata to show all of your books in NVdata
