scharfg Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 Hi there I've been happily down/up loading with Bit Torrent for the past 8 months or so. This past week I started a download and a message came up asking me if I wanted to download the latest version. Wanting all the patches and fixes I said yes. When I restarted Bit Torrent I got the following error message:"It seems like Bit Torrent is already running but not responding. Please close all Bit Torrent processes and try again"I followed the instructions and each time I restarted Bit Torrent I got the same message. So I removed Bit Torrent and installed UTorrent which worked for a while, then I got the same error message. So I removed both programs and went searching for another Torrent download program. I tried a couple of other ones but neither of them worked (got hung up), so I thought I had a virus (even though I have a virus checker). I then downloaded Bit Commet and it worked but it was not as fast as Bit Torrent. I downloaded AVG anti virus free edition and did a scan and it removed a couple of viruses. I then just now downloaded the latest BitTorrent version and tried running it again. Alas I got the same error message!!!What is going on, I want my BitTorrent back!!Please help this newb!!!!

paintball9 Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 First of all do your virus scans from safe mode, when the virii aren't running. If they can see the scan coming then they can just move themselves before they get deleted.It may be due to the IPv6 bug that's been causing problems as of late.What OS are you running?

scharfg Posted September 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 Oh, I had not idea that was the best way to run the virus scans (see newbie here). How do I get into safe mode with Windows XP version 2002?Yeah everything was running fine until I chose to update Bit Torrent, ugh!Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
