Ultima Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 Ugh must be a stupid Vista thing; Microsoft probably changed it so that My Computer no longer shows up under the Desktop directory... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nos_slived Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 Ultima is right. If you want to save to another drive however, there is a simple solution: type the path manually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToPDoG Posted August 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 My Computer does show up on the desktopand that does not explain why UTorrent 1.6 worked fine but 1.7.2 does not work fineso far, manually typing it works. but nothing elseso your theory on it being a Vista issue to me dosen't apply considering vista works fine,and other programs what have to access the desktop have NEVER done thisit only stopped working with UTorrent, and when i upgraded to 1.7.2 which i am now downgrading until someone makes a fix within utorrent and vista.New: So yeah, i just downgraded from 1.7.2 to 1.6.1 and it works fine. that tells me its NOT Vista. something ust have been changed from 1.6 to 1.7 to make it stop working like thati hope they look over thier code to see where this issue may lie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 I wasn't talking about the regular Desktop. I was referring to the Desktop directory in the directory selection dialog, a screenshot for which you posted up above. There isn't a My Computer (or now called Computer in Vista) listed in the directory tree.At any rate, maybe this is a bug (seems like one to me if you're able to select Computer from other applications in the same dialog). I'll move it into the Found Bugs forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shamasis Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 As I emntioned earlier, I too am facing this problem.If you are using the same windows API as in 1.6, it shouldn't have been an issue. In that case, it will be a bug with Vista than with µTorrent. Googling various code-bases as well as MS support sites, did not give any fruitful result or solution (as usual.)Cheers to µTorrent team for their great woek. I know that this bug will be squashed real soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KWATDJ Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 I'm doing my research on this, and the only other discussions that I found all just talk about the bug, and noone gives any answers. I've tried typing into the path, but it creates the folder instead of actually using the one that is already made. Example, you have a folder named music on your C:\ . well, when you try to type the filepath uTorrent just creates another /music folder onto your C:\. ?!? Please help!!
