Dr.Khron Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 Ok, I have a living room PC that I use as a video jukebox (I've ripped my TV show DVD sets to divx).It has no monitor, just the TV set, so I need to use Windows Remote desktop in order to do anyheavy administrative work on it. I also want to use this computer as my dedicated uTorrent machine,since its on all the time anyway. My main PC is overclocked and noisy, so it would be nice to shut itoff overnight.Anyway, I had Windows XP installed on the living room PC, but the problem with that is the one userlimitiation: I couldn't run uTorrent in the background while someone was watching videos on the TV.So I installed Server 2003 instead. Now someone can watch videos on TV, while I'm simultaneouslylogged in on another account which is running uTorrent.Except that its crashing..Specifically, if I log back into the account running uTorrent, I find that its NOT running. The littlegreen icon is there, but when you click on it, it just disapears. When you relaunch uTorrent, it has torecheck any downloading torrents from 0%, just like a hard crash. I tired mimizing to the taskbarinstead of the tray, but the behavior is the same.1. Is there any problem running uTorrent on Windows Server 2003?2. Is there a problem running uTorrent remotely?3. Has anyone else ever tried this?Thank you for you help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 Are you using remote desktop? Or are you using like, fast user switch? If you're actually logging out, then it's closing the program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Khron Posted February 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 Nope, I was just closing the remote terminal window, NOT logging off.I don't believe that Server 2003 has "fast user switching", since you canhave multiple accounts logged on at once.However, thats not the issue... I thought it only happened when I hadthe remote terminal window closed, but last night it did the same thingwhile I was sitting there watching it with the window open.Basically, it just shut down and the icon disapeared. Right in front of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
