grez868 Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 I have just started using uTorrent 1.8 Beta Build 10198 and I have suddenly started getting a problem with running it. While running, the system slows down and the mouse jitters.I looked in Process Explorer and it reports DPC (Deferred Procedure Calls) and uTorrent to be using all my CPU power. I close uTorrent and the system returns to normal (about 27% CPU usage)I am using a AMD Athlon XP 2400+ ~2.01GHz rated at 2.4GHzHave Spybot S&D and Zonealarm Pro installed (tried closing both but problem still occurs)Am running Windows Vista Ultimate SP1I never had this problem before the new beta release, so was wondering if this counts as a bug in the new release.

DreadWingKnight Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 Have you tried uninstalling zonealarm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grez868 Posted May 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 no, didn't think that would be the problem as it only started after the new beta release. Instead, I will just go back to a stable release until 1.8 stable is released Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firon Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 High DPCs are a sign of buggy kernel-mode software. This boils down to drivers and firewalls.It's not a bug with utorrent, it's a bug with Zone Alarm. Switch to Comodo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
