deaconmeth Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 Every time utorrent tries to install the latest update, the damn proggie is crippling my computers ability to playback media. Vista issue, perhaps?Basically if I install the update, when I try to play a movie in VLC it will open VLC but the movie won't begin playback (or even register that I've opened a movie).Took me forever to figure out it was utorrent causing this, I thought it was a craptacular windows update doing it. Not to say it's not windows fault somehow but still... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTHK Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 Try doing it manually, and figure out what's up with your computer, it sounds like anti-virus/firewall/internet security messing up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 ... how is it crippling. Is CPU usage high? RAM usage going up? :/ It's not enough information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 Check the Device Manager. Make sure your IDE/SATA controllers are running in UDMA5 or 6.Check CURRENT transfer mode for each controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deaconmeth Posted April 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 Its reacting poorly with a windows update. So it is microshit at fault. If you install one of the SP1 "prerequisits" for vista AFTER installing SP1 it screws up utorrent and media playback. Pretty sweeet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 Source? This sounds like something serious >< All the searches including prerequisite only cover the rollup patches one needs on existing Vista computers who are attempting to deploy SP1.
