Trapper Dave Posted January 6, 2007 Report Posted January 6, 2007 Last night I installed uTorrent 1.6.1, well copied it to a folder and placed a shortcut on my desktop.This morning I've turned my PC and double clicked the icon, yet nothing happens. Once I've clicked on the icon, my CPU usage increases as though the application is running, so I control + alt + deleted to bring up my processes, yet lone behold the process is running, although Windows XP Pro won't show it in the taskbar or system tray. (Edit: I've also just tried to connect to uTorrent via the WebGUI, but I just get a "Problem loading page" error in Firefox)I've had this problem before, but it resolved itself when I rebooted the PC, something that I've tried four or five times now.Does anyone know how I can fix this?
Ultima Posted January 6, 2007 Report Posted January 6, 2007 Have you checked for incompatible software as listed in the FAQ?
Trapper Dave Posted January 6, 2007 Author Report Posted January 6, 2007 Yes, and theres no conflicts.If I close uTorrent.exe in the Processes tab and then double click on the icon it works. Strange work around, but I was wondering if there was anything that I could do to avoid that step?
Ultima Posted January 6, 2007 Report Posted January 6, 2007 Hm. Get Process Explorer from sysinternals.com, File > Save, then copy and paste the process list in the .txt file that you save from there.

Ultima Posted January 6, 2007 Report Posted January 6, 2007 YOWZA, 61 running processes ;o The number of processes McAfee runs is dispicable, to say the least -- I wonder if it's conflicting with anything... Besides that, you should disable the Indexing service, as it's a total waste of CPU usage... To do that, go to Start > Run > services.mscThen look for the indexing service, stop it, and disable it.
Trapper Dave Posted January 6, 2007 Author Report Posted January 6, 2007 I've managed to cut it down, but I'm still not having any luck.
Ultima Posted January 7, 2007 Report Posted January 7, 2007 So what does the current process list look like?

Trapper Dave Posted January 7, 2007 Author Report Posted January 7, 2007 Is there anyway that I could forbid the process from running at boot? That should fix the problem.
Trapper Dave Posted January 7, 2007 Author Report Posted January 7, 2007 Problem fixed; I disabled it from running at start up and there's no issue now.Now just to cut down my process list for starting up my PC.
Ultima Posted January 7, 2007 Report Posted January 7, 2007 ...? Disabled what from running at startup?
Trapper Dave Posted January 7, 2007 Author Report Posted January 7, 2007 I change the preferences for uTorrent so that it wouldn't run when Windows XP started and now it's working normally.
Ultima Posted January 8, 2007 Report Posted January 8, 2007 Oh. You never mentioned it as having started up with Windows ;\I'm wondering if it could be a case of Windows Firewall being stupid, but oh well, as long as you don't mind starting the application manually, I guess it doesn't really matter anymore.
