Configuration of uTorrent 2.01

[DOSforever]

In uTorrent 2.01, when right clicking on the row containing Name, Size, Seeds, Peers and so on,  one usually gets the list of items that can be put in this row so you can add or delete items. However I am getting the same list that one gets when right clicking on a Torrent Name, namely Open, Start, Pause, Skip, Label and so on. What do I need to do to get the first mentioned lists list when I right click on this row ?

2.01 is a bit of an oldie but try with a new settings.dat file:

Exit uTorrent. Move both settings.dat and settings.dat.old to another location.

Launch uTorrent and a new settings.dat should recreate itself.

Does that help any?

Hi mike 20021969,

I tried replacing the 2 setting files but the only thing that happened was that several items got added to and several items got deleted from the row I am having trouble with. I tried reinstalling uTorrent 2.04 (I did not mean uTorrent 2.01) several times, replacing the two setting files each time, but this did not have any effect. I have a dual boot computer {Windows 2000 and Windows XP), as you can see I do not upgrade to the latest version of any program if I like the old version better. I have been running uTorrent on the Windows 2000 partition so I decided to install uTorrent 2.04 on the Windows XP partition and when I transferred all the Torrents and the uTorrent files from the uTorrent folder on the Windows 2000 partition to the uTorrent folder on the Windows XP partition everything worked as it should. This problem started about a week ago when I did a repair on Windows 2000, so it may be  that Windows 2000 is interacting with uTorrent 2.04 i some strange way. While doing all this I noticed that on a fresh installation of uTorrent 2.04, before any Torrents are added, that on the Windows XP installation I get the correct list when right  clicking on the row I am having trouble, however on the Windows 2000 installation nothing happens, I do not get either of the lists that I mentioned. For now I will switch my Torrent activity to the Windows XP installation of uTorrent and in my spare time I will try to get the Windows 2000 installation to work. Thanks for your suggestion, I will keep this in mind if another similar problem occurs.
