Firon Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Do you have a firewall? Are you on a limited user account? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erafy Posted July 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 I do have the trial version of the latest zonealarm installed, and it expired, but I haven't removed it or registered it yet. The Windows Vista firewall is turned off.I am on a user account with admin privileges. The weird thing is I have been using utorrent for quite some time now with both this user acct, and ZA installed without a problem, so something weird has happened behind the scenes lately that I can't figure out. =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 You need to uninstall Zone Alarm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erafy Posted July 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 You were right.I was running the trial version of Zonealarm 7.1 and it recently expired.I registered it and now everything works again. :mad:Really lame how ZA screws up your computer to encourage registrations.
