adamguinn Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 I am a beta tester for Vista and i have finally come to the realization that utorrent keeps making my system crash, ive done all sorts of test i could think of and its always the thing open when i crash. Maby someone is a Vista tester too and knows anything i should do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dAbReAkA Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 i havent used it for a long time at once (no more than 2-3 hours) and it has never crashed.. it behaves even better under vista.. i've tested it in RC1, 5728, and RC2.. how does it crash? it stops responding and u have to kill the process or something else? how much time does it need averagely to crash?

Sanchez Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 In RC2 i've had utorrent open for nearly 300 hours and it hasn't crashed at all. Same for RC1 and even Beta 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dAbReAkA Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 that clears it up..the download page (http://www.utorrent.com/download.php) can be updated.. i can say that utorrent runs great on vista (even from my short experience with it there)..EDIT:ah it says 98, blahblah, XP and above - which covers it but whatever..

pawn Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 uTorrent locks up under Vista RC2 for me, can test it more... perhaps its just one of the settings. I'm using build 5744 of vista. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dAbReAkA Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 final anti-viruses usually break final versions of OSs.. let alone beta versions of anti-viruses on beta versions of OSs.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mp_ironman Posted December 25, 2007 Report Share Posted December 25, 2007 I am on my boss' new laptop and he was having the same problem as you, new computer runnning vista, im unsure of the edition/version... what ended up working for me was i just right clicked on the program and i started running the program in compatibility mode with windows xp sp2 and sweettttt...... no crashes! i hope this helps with all of you guys and i know that it wasnt a conflict with pc cillin because this computer is using avg antivirus free edition with great sucess so far, it even notified me of my registry being changed... thanks for your help, what you did give and hope no one else suffers this fate...

jewelisheaven Posted December 25, 2007 Report Share Posted December 25, 2007 Thanks for the tip, but would you mind posting in a thread not about vista beta?... unless your boss for some reason is not running the current final version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
