NeVeR5000 Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 Hi All,I've been runing Utorrent for years, But over the past few days it's been crashing,I've not changed anything, Here is a screen shoot of the error.http://h.imagehost.org/0112/utorrent.jpgNotice is says something about my firewall, I've always had this firewall on. I've added Utorrent to the allowed programs (again) but it's still not working. I cant disable this as it's my firewall! and it was working normally for ages.I turned off the firewall and tested it and it still wouldnt work !! SO now what ?any help would be great,Thanks.

DreadWingKnight Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 Uninstall the nvidia forceware network access manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeVeR5000 Posted September 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 But thats my firewall !i've always had it.. Why is it just blocking it now ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 Because only now did something happen that made it not play nice.And with the history of that "firewall" you're better off with none.But considering that:1> Windows XP and up have a built in firewall2> Routers have built in firewallsYou don't need it.

NeVeR5000 Posted September 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 OK i'll remove it,, But as i said i did turn it off and it didnt work,, Would uninstalling it be more effective? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 Yes, because uninstalling it actually removes the hooks that it places in the OS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogly Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 If you need a firewall, use Comodo or AVG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeVeR5000 Posted September 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 I uninstalled it and my PC went mad, Windows said i had to re-activate it as i removed something !!..So i'm still in the same boat, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogly Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 You probably did something wrong. Nvidia Forceware is not an essential program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeVeR5000 Posted September 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 I got that software with my motherboard I think.. Anyways i got the PC working again. But I cant remove that Nvidia forceware... anytime i click on it in the "add/remove programs" area it loads as if it's doing something then just stops.. i've tried it over 20 times now and it does the same thing,,,, Is there any other way to remove it?

moogly Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 Repost Hijackthis log please to see if it's still here.To remove recalcitrant programs, you can use ZSoft Software, it's a powerful freeware better than Program manager of Windows: http://www.zsoft.dk/index/software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
