moogly Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 FAQ: http://www.utorrent.com/faq.php#What_does_Error_opening_Windows_Firewall_mean.3FYou can ignore it.I think to fix it, you can do that: enable Win Firewall, remove the previous exceptions about uT, start uT, Win FW will add new rules, disable it.Solution to remove previous entries in Win Firewall: http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?pid=393186#p393186 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommygun Posted March 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 ......in Windows Vista you can right click the application and then choose "Run as Administrator" or you can configure it that it always will run with Administrator privileges by doing this:Right click uTorrent then Properties then Compatibility and the check the box:"Run this program as an administrator"Sorry, but I don't know what to do if you are running XP.......
