chinadog Posted June 16, 2007 Report Posted June 16, 2007 Running 1.6.1 build 490 and have all current updates for XP Home SP2.When I fire up utorrent, screens goes black and refreshes at a low resolution.I then need to go to control panel>display>settings and set it to "highest (32bit)" to get back to my normal screen. If I shut off utorrent, it goes back to "highest (32 bit) by itself, but otherwise, opening it always causes it to change to "lowest (8 bit)", which is readable, but a little crusty looking.I'm running a Dell P780 monitor on ATI Express 200 Series at 1024 x 768.Has anyone else run into this, or are there workarounds?Thanks in advance,Bill
Lord Alderaan Posted June 16, 2007 Report Posted June 16, 2007 Wow... crazy...There is pretty much no way it could be caused by (or solved by changing a setting of) µtorrent.And I never heard of this problem so I can't really help you either.
Ultima Posted June 16, 2007 Report Posted June 16, 2007 O.oI think I've seen this kind of problem a LONG time ago (or something similar), but with another application. It was some kind of conflict that was occurring while the Java virtual machine was running. Get Process Explorer from sysinternals.com, run it, File > Save, then post the contents of the saved process list in the .txt file here.Edit: http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=15580... I said this exact same thing a long time ago to the exact same person, apparently... Judging by the fact that he never responded to to my posts in that thread (heh and I even responded to him less 3 minutes after his post in that thread), I'm not exactly expecting a reply to this thread either... *shrug*
chinadog Posted June 16, 2007 Author Report Posted June 16, 2007 Ultima,You DID respond quickly a long time ago to a post when I first got the machine I'm running utorrent on, which I cleverly deleted. Sorry for my lack of response, and thanks for your help then and now.

Ultima Posted June 16, 2007 Report Posted June 16, 2007 Heh I see a Java application...In any case, there doesn't seem to be an obvious reason why this is happening (at least not from your process list, it seems). Try messing with your graphics card settings (disabling anisotropic filtering and antialiasing settings?). Try uninstalling Java for the time being, since it seems to be the repeat culprit.
chinadog Posted June 16, 2007 Author Report Posted June 16, 2007 I'll give it a try.Thanks for your help,BillOK....I delted Java, and that Java app not around anymore.Have played with all your display setting recommendations in different combinations.Still no luck.......just kicks down to low resolution (then I can adjust in control panel>display if I want to), and reverts back to "Best" quality when I close utorrent. Any new ideas?Thanks,BillHere's what's up now:Process PID CPU Description Company NameSystem Idle Process 0 51.56 Interrupts n/a 7.81 Hardware Interrupts DPCs n/a 23.44 Deferred Procedure Calls System 4 7.81 smss.exe 720 Windows NT Session Manager Microsoft Corporation csrss.exe 776 Client Server Runtime Process Microsoft Corporation winlogon.exe 804 Windows NT Logon Application Microsoft Corporation services.exe 848 Services and Controller app Microsoft Corporation ati2evxx.exe 1016 ATI External Event Utility EXE Module ATI Technologies Inc. svchost.exe 1032 Generic Host Process for Win32 Services Microsoft Corporation msmsgs.exe 2288 Windows Messenger Microsoft Corporation svchost.exe 1096 Generic Host Process for Win32 Services Microsoft Corporation svchost.exe 1160 Generic Host Process for Win32 Services Microsoft Corporation svchost.exe 1208 Generic Host Process for Win32 Services Microsoft Corporation svchost.exe 1276 Generic Host Process for Win32 Services Microsoft Corporation ccSetMgr.exe 1436 Symantec Settings Manager Service Symantec Corporation SPBBCSvc.exe 1448 SPBBC Service Symantec Corporation ccEvtMgr.exe 1480 Symantec Event Manager Service Symantec Corporation spoolsv.exe 1608 Spooler SubSystem App Microsoft Corporation AluSchedulerSvc.exe 192 Automatic LiveUpdate Scheduler Service Symantec Corporation mDNSResponder.exe 432 Bonjour Service Apple Computer, Inc. dvpapi.exe 464 Command Software Systems, Inc.
