Not alot has changed on my pc that i'm aware of, just everytime i go to open it since yestarday i get a warning message saying "a crash dump has been saved, send dump to devlopers?" and if i say yes then it just repeats.

I've removed and installed the latest to no avail, i'm not on a router and nothing like firewalls have been changed from when it was working fine for ages, i don't get it :( any help would be great, cheers.

Well I Fixed it last night.

Last week I decided to change my router firmware to DD-WRT. My husband runs WOW on his computer and I just surf on mine. We also have a third computer that we Remote Desktop into and run utorrent on. It worked good for everything but the computer that I ran utorrent on.

the first problem we had was that utorrent took all the bandwidth. Could not web surf at all. Fixed that by increasing the IP connections from 512 and timeout of 3600 to 4096 and 120.

That improved the web surfing but then that computer kept crashing because it had too many TCP_IP connections. Found the solution to that was that hacked TCPip.SYS from http://www.lvllord.de/ and set to 50

Then the computer would freeze and not show any error in the window's event viewer. I have lowered the ip connections to 2012 and set the utorrert's settings to adsl/256 so the max connects are below 200 etc. and Changed the net.max_halfopen to 4 in the prefs/advanced for utorrent. Also changed the tcpip.sys back to 10. This seemed to help over last night because the computer stayed running. But I have logged in with Remote Desktop now at work and increased the speed for upload and its seems to have crashed again

If you only have 256 kilobits/sec upload speed to spare, then you really DON'T need more than 100...maybe 200...total connections for torrents unless you're connecting to lots of nearly-dead torrents. Each connection takes bandwidth and is in contention with the others.
