Firon Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Not a single service there that I know of would cause this issue. I'm honestly at a loss here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlefire Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 If you get Process Monitor from http://systinternals.com start logging, open uTorrent, wait until it shows up in the process list and then stop logging... save the log as a PML, or copy-paste it to the forum and send it to firon he could look at it.. perhaps some extra additional access info would be there that doesn't show p here?

alebak Posted August 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 I guess it is a little much to paste into the forum ... anyway of sending it as attachment?Another weird behavior. After installing version 1.8 uTorrent hangs, i.e. no UI but a process. After killing the utorrent prosess the install process will start over again. I.e. it seems like it is not able to complete the install process. (I am installing as an administrator)Apparently the install is not working, as mentioned before the only file in the uTorrent install directory is uTorrent.exe (except from some .dmp files). Looking at the Process Monitor log it is definitely not finding the UI files ;-)An extract from the log (I have filtered out anything not SUCCESS and not containing uTorrent, and only the first items)

ilitirit Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 I had exactly the same problem. I fixed it by right-clicking on the uTorrent.exe setup file, and then choosing "Unblock" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 Fast IO disallowed eh? Well, it's definitely being blocked by Vista. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alebak Posted August 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 Well now I know that it is a Vista issue ... (and I learned something new)but unblocking it as suggested from ilitirit does still not do the trick.I still get the FAST IO DISALLOWED error message.Any other suggestion how to make Vista accept this?I did also try to turn of the UAC with out any success ... maybe I should try with Vista Home Premium instead?

Firon Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 Reset permissions/retake ownership of program files, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alebak Posted August 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 fyi I have given up Vista for the time beeing. I have some issues with HW (GPU conflicting with somethig else most likely) and Vista.Anyway I am 100% sure this is a Vista issue. (Starting Vista in Safemode ... uTorrent worked like a dream!)Thanks for the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
