K-Rock Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Everytime I exit uTorrent it acts as if it has really closed. But it is still listed as being open on the processes section of the task manager. None of the processes can be closed down from here.Also when I attempt to open the program again I am informed by a dialog box that uTorrent is already running.What is going on?I'm running Vista Home premium with SP1. My version of uTorrent is the most recent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Uninstall zonealarm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therin Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 Can you say why? Just unistalling zone alarm is bit enough information. I have this problem as well and its starting to have some serious shut down/restart issues with vista. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firon Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 It's a problem with Zone Alarm. It locks utorrent in the kernel and basically hangs your system when trying to shutdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-Rock Posted September 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 Sweet! Thanks for that guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfie Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 I had the same problem.Closing utorrent was in fact not possible: after hitting the close-button, the program stayed "not responding"... The only solution was restarting the computer. I uninstalled ZoneAlarm and (like Firon said) everything is working just fine!It's a strange thing. I like ZoneAlarm and used it for years and never had problems with it until the last few months... Maybe they are working on it?I'm very happy that I found this forum (and the solution for the problem).Thank you, guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ByteGuy Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 Ok, what else could be the cause, since I don't have ZoneAlarm. I have Vista installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
