You're right... you'll have to forgive my ailing memory, it's been a long time since WD last afflicted my machine ;) When I open WD on my machine, it says: "A problem has caused this program's service to stop." This might, possibly maybe, be related to me disabling the Windows Defender service from the "Services" panel after it refused to turn itself off when asked politely. Just be careful, once or twice Windows has re-enabled the service without asking first, and fork errors come back with a vengeance.
