Thanks for the info and the options. I must admit that I'm not a developer 
but an "unofficial" tester of sorts - I'll take the latest version that is 
available and put it through its jumps.

I approached this issue from a different route - running WSJT-X with other 
software disabled or idle. My first tests revolved around "what's new or 
what have I changed lately?" and started disabling programs.  The first was 
a new installation of antivirus software.  To make it quiet, I completely 
uninstalled it, cleaned the registry, and took other steps to remove any 
signs of it.  When running WSJT-X and the rest of the software minus the 
antivirus software (turned on Microsoft Security Essentials for protection, 
though), the errors disappeared.  Why?  I haven't a clue.

I did remember having a slight problem getting that antivirus software 
installed the first time, so I made sure I was clean of the first install, 
downloaded the software from the manufacturer again, and re-installed it.

So far, so good.  May have been a funny glitch caused by that initial 
install.
