I haven’t tried uninstalling or reinstalling. Am I correct in saying you think I should try to install without uninstalling and then choose the option to repair the software?
More data regarding the problem: I had to create a new user on Vista to solve an unrelated problem, and when I login as that user WD Anywhere Backup starts up fine. This is not a solution for the WD Anywhere problem as all my data is still under the original Vista user and I do not want to solve this by moving everything over to the new user.
