Utorrent crashing/freezing

[capbiker]

I am currently running Utorrent 1.7.5 on my computer, and I am finding since xmas that it's freezes and crashes on me.

I have searched all the posts on here, and tried some of the suggests out. Disabiling firewalls, closing all non essiental programs, making sure all drivers were up todate and nonthing worked.

In the end I tried turning on the error reporting, to display the error message that comes up. Out of the last 5 times that it crashed/freezes it displayed the same error message of, "Out of Memory, please try closing some programs and restarting. The other two times nonthing come up".

The size of the torrent that I am currently downloading is 3.5GB. And I leave it running overnight it's ok (Because I just leave it running while I am not using the computer). But when I go to work and come home since Wednesday I always find it crashed. So since Wednesday I have had the error message set to be displayed and it come up as stated above.

So anybody got any suggestions on how to fix it so that it don't do it.

Thanks.

Typically, it's either a bug in Windows itself not freeing up memory temporarily used...though I heard the v1.8 alphas may partially/fully solve that.

...OR it's bad firewall software or just plain viruses on a computer that does that!

So, have you run HijackThis! and/or Process Explorer lately?

Simply disabling firewalls doesn't help, they need to be uninstalled completely.

Agreed, posting the relevant log for HJT will tell us tell you whether or not reported bad programs or SUSPECTED bad programs are interfering with uT.

Also the Process Explorer log with DLL mode shown will tell you and us if there is a program sticking a DLL where it doesn't belong, thereby interfering with correct operation of uT.
