uTorrent won't start in Vista

[ejxsd]

I installed the newest stable release of uTorrent, and it started fine the first couple times I ran it. But now when I double-click the EXE, nothing happens at all. If I replace the EXE with a freshly downloaded one, it will work, but then after a short while it no longer works. What's going on?

Do you have an AV or something?

[ejxsd]

I have Windows Firewall in Vista, but no antivirus

[Firon]

Perhaps your computer is infected with some kind of virus.

Utorrent won't start in Vista. No I don't have a virus.

Please post a process list from process explorer.

Also, try backing up your settings (in %APPDATA%\uTorrent) and removing the folder - let us know if that helps.

[ejxsd]

uTorrent does not show up in my process list, and removing the folder in AppData does not help at all.

I am having the EXACT same issue as ejxsd. If I re-download and re-install, it will work... until I shut down the computer. Once I restart, it refuses to open unless I once again re-download and re-install. Otherwise it just won't open. I'll double click on it and nothing happens. It isn't appearing in the processes menu either. This happens indefinitely until I redo those steps again and again each restart. It's beginning to bother me and I feel it would probably just be easier to uninstall. Anyone have a solution?

[ejxsd]

Anybody..? This problem is really bothersome.

I have been using FlashGet in the meantime, but it is nowhere near is good as uTorrent

"Please post a process list from process explorer." Did anyone read this post from one of the developers?

vncclipboard.exe

taskmgr.exe

System Idle Process
