lister Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Very recently I have developed a problem; I use the latest alph/beta of �Torrent yet now, when i am running �Torrent i find that after/during whatever is happening with �Torrent any browser I open gets closed down by Windows. Any other app (Photoshop, Explorer, etc) for example is stable. Only browsers (haven't checked any other p2p prog) shut down. S'thing like... Firefox/Opera.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows.An error log is being created.I restart Windows and don't run �Torrent and my browser (Firefox by default) stays open and doesn't have any problems.At the moment I am downloading a 38mb torrent (60% done) of over 100 350mb avi files to a 2nd HDD, I'm wondering if this has anything to do with it?PC.Win2K (sp4 - latest updates), 2.66Ghz P4, 1gb RAM, 2 HDD - primary HDD with OS is 80gb, 50gb free: 2nd HDD 250gb with 150 free.

Firon Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Weird. So you're using 1.4.2 beta 427, and you've used the Speed Guide, and not screwed with any of the advanced settings?And you've not got anything on this list? http://www.utorrent.com/faq.php#Incompatible_software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lister Posted February 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Um, actually, For the last few versions (since before 1.4) I just closed µTorrent and then saved the latest version over the µTorrent executable, then restarted.Never had any problems before, except now, after a crash (µTorrent sends a dump back to you apparently), when the torrent slowly rechecks the data DLed.I DO have avast!, but after a previous post disabled the µTorrent entry in the p2p shield.

Firon Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Well, you could always try to re-download beta 427, then go to %AppData%\uTorrent and delete settings.dat and settings.dat.old (with µTorrent closed). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lister Posted February 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 I noticed an error in the event viewer"WMI ADAP was unable to process the RemoteAccess performance library due to a time violation in the open function"also Peerguardian was continually blocking a bogon IP - removed from blocklist, 'seems' ok so far; if not I will have to try and tackle the WMI error.On a different note, I can't seem to download a certain torrent, says 'hostname not found', but my other client ABC is downloading it fine.edit: Spoke too soon, problem is back. Seems that once it starts any web browser shuts down after less than a minute. Well, i've been meaning to upgrade the OS, maybe time to format and install XP.
