uTorrent is angry with me (Crashes yet remains in Task Manager)


Dante4212

Recommended Posts

I've been using uTorrent on Vista for nearly a year now, and it's always worked fine, but as of recently, I've been having a problem with it.

I open uTorrent, and it will display the main screen for about 5 seconds, then it freezes followed by an inevitable crash. I close the program and try re-opening it, but the program itself does not appear. In task manager, I found two utorrent.exe files (One is the one I just recently opened, the other the first). I end the process of the recently opened one and it disappears. I try ending the process of the first utorrent.exe, but to no avail. It remains in the task manager unaffected by any decision I make.

I tried uninstalling uTorrent, downloading the current version (1.7.7), and reinstalling, but I get the same problem. UTorrent opens, but when the configuration opens up, it stays open for about 5 seconds, then freezes.

I've looked around on the forums and couldn't find a similar problem, but I did see people here use HiJackThis, so I'm going to post a loglife of my running processes.

I see at least three programs known to cause problems...

At any rate, get Process Explorer from sysinternals.com, run it, Ctrl+D (to show the lower DLL pane), select the µTorrent process from the list, Ctrl+S (and save the list somewhere you'll find easily -- like the Desktop) , then post the contents of the saved process list in the .txt file here.

So after getting rid of Nero Scout and Spy Sweeper it still has trouble? (Log shows Spy Sweeper is still running)

There's still the added DLL for your AV tmlsp.dll TmLsp Trend Micro Inc. 3.01.0000.1013 which is fine I guess as long as that hook is not causing things to go wonky. Could you try adding uTorrent.exe to the exceptions list so it doesn't monitor? Or if not possible turn it off temporarily and then re-run the DLL list to be sure it's not injected, and THEN see if uT still crashes?

Here's a tidbit if uT still is frozen then it is possible to crash uT and upload the DMP file to mediafire for someone to look at. We're running out of possible suspects and I feel useless because you're using Vista :/

Windows Defender is supposed to be fine, but I don't think it's really necessary. Spyware doesn't show up spontaneously -- it's all about user action. Simply don't install any new software or visit any suspicious/unknown websites while you have SpySweeper uninstalled, and you'll be fine.

Alright, I've uninstalled Webroot SpySweeper, and I'm trying to attempt to uninstall Roxio, but I have seven entries (or programs) for Roxio under my Control Panel. Was it one program, or do I need to remove all seven of Roxio's programs?

And I use Nero Burning Rom religiously, and I only have one entry in the Control Panel (which is Nero 7). How do I remove certain 'branches' of the program? Specifically, the ones that autostart with my computer?

I've attempted to run uTorrent, and I'm getting a little further than five seconds, but it still inevitably crashes and stays in my process list.

I'm not sure, as I don't use Nero. Perhaps if you click the "uninstall" button, it might come up with some dialog that allows you to select which component you'd like to remove (like many InstallShield/MSI installers allow)?

I tend to doubt the Nero process would cause crashes -- I just thought I'd mention it, since both Nero and Roxio have caused plenty of grief to users in the form of "Access Denied" errors :P

Perhaps you can check the Nero preferences somewhere to see if there's a way to disable the indexing service? If not, you can always try disabling it via Start > Run > services.msc, or by killing it with Process Explorer and disabling it from running on startup with Start > Run > msconfig.

At any rate, after you do this, can you provide a new Process Explorer log? Thanks.

It is not the nero SUITE, but Nero SCOUT the indexing service which Ultima pointed out. In 7 and 8 you download that 400 MB behemoth with all features you'll ever want (and rarely need). There's a launcher you should be able to remove or turn it off manually... or go the control panel route. If it inevitably crashes, does that mean it no longer immediately crashes but you don't want to babysit it to find out how long it takes?It's quite understandable but could you try to see what action(s) cause a crash, like if you start it minimized and then try to bring it up that's the trigger? The log shows your trend micro injected which shouldn't be a problem, unless it's doing something that is causing it to crash.

I can appreciate it's a previously working setup... so then what changed? Windows updates? program updates? new software? If after nothing is injected into uT and it still crashes you'll have to start turning off additional services and stopping programs in a trial-and-error process to see what's causing it to crash. I don't expect you to do higher-level debugging, but the creator of Process Explorer regularly describes in his blog @ http://blogs.technet.com/markrussinovich/ how he ends up finding and in many cases fixing windows code :D (the benefits of being AT microsoft now he can check in changes to source)

Ok, I've uninstalled everything Roxio, uninstalled Webroot SpySweeper, and have disabled Nero Scout (I think).

Jewelisheaven, I'm looking at my most recent Windows Updates, and found that on March 07, I installed "Definition Update for Windows Defender - KB915597 (Definition 1.29.7418.0)"

It's description says "Install this update to revise the definition files used to detect spywaree and other poentially unwanted software. Once you have installed this item, it cannot be removed."

"Potentially Unwanted Software..." you don't think they added uTorrent to their lists, do you?

There was a Motorola USB Handset driver installed on March 08th, but I have no need for it, so that's now uninstalled.

Here is an updated Process Explorer log:

Heh, apparently, Nero Scout still doesn't want to go away.

I'm sorta running out of ideas here. One of the remaining things that I'm really suspicious of is (as jewelisheaven pointed out earlier) Trend's injected DLL (tmlsp.dll). Then there's always the Apple Bonjour DLLs that are often around whenever people have crashing problems...

There are still some other processes I'm not sure about, but we can always check those after (if?) you try uninstalling Trend and/or Apple's Bonjour service (temporarily). Thanks again for your continued cooperation, by the way. Many users simply give up around here :/

Hey, I appreciate your help and patience. I'm not even close to giving up. I know uTorrent will work on my system, and I'm not going to accept that it just stops working indefinitely.

There is a cure. I just know it.

I'll tackle those dll files and fire up uTorrent and see what I can do.

Edit: How exactly do I disable Trend's tmlsp.dll?

I searched for that file and saw it caused disturbance in someone's gameplay.

I hope I don't have to uninstall my antivirus. I would have no spyware protection nor antivirus. I mean, uTorrent worked like a charm with both those programs running, and now, it's like "NO MORE!".

There has to be a solution.

Ok, nearly one month later...

I had been using Azureus since my problem, then one night, Azureus started giving me similar problems.

I then tried reinstalling uTorrent 1.7.7, and--(dramatic pause), it's working flawlessly.

I have no idea how or why, but I'm glad.
