WD Anywhere Backup Keeps Crashing

[barrett]

My recommendation would be to do what I described in the thread entry above yours:

1.) Create another user account on your computer.

2.)  Uninstall the WD software

3.)  Log into the other user account, and reinstall the software from that account

4.). Log back into your original user account, and the software should then work.

Barrett,

Your recommendations solved the problem in my new account but the problem still existed in the old account. after the reinstall of the WD Smartwae software. This also solved a problem i had with the catayst software for my ATI Radeon graphics card.   

In my case I just deleted the old account..

Thanks again for your help.

For me the same issue but i can not delete the old account because i need him.

does anyone have a better solution?

  For me, it was something to do with my backup plan.  I removed the contents of the <profile>\Application Data\WD directory, and it fired right up.

   Good luck!

I'm having a similar problem- WD anywhere keeps crashing my Windows 7 machine. Anyone have any ideas?

Is the memeo backup software free or did you have to buy it? I couldn't find any free options other than a temporary trial.

Thanks.
