Aardvark01 Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 With the beta build 428 I often experienced lock ups of the taskbar (unable to click on Quick Start icons and/or other running windows). Workaround for me so far is to kill the explorer-process and restart explorer.exe.With build 431 this problem occurs much more and also much earlier after a clean reboot.I tried toggling the systray settings in the preferences of utorrent. No luck.[WinXP SP2 latest hotfixes]Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1c3d0g Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 Haven't experienced anything like that over here. Are you sure your system is absolutely clean, meaning no virus/worm/ad/spyware crap in your PC? :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 I wouldn't be too surprised if it actually is malware... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aardvark01 Posted March 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 No I am sure I have no malware running. I don't run/play/try bogus-software at my workstation. Don't use IE. Don't use Outlook nor OE etc. I don't have this problem when utorrent isn't running.After experiencing this problem I double-checked by running:- Spybot- AdAware- Avast virusscanFYI: other programs running (most also displayed in systray):- Logitech iTouch- McAfee Enterprise v8- MSI Bluetooth software- Novell client 4.91SP1-current(and yes, I also tried with disabling them all).TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 Check the incompatible software list on the FAQ and read the entries carefully.Disabling does not work fyi, only an uninstall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aardvark01 Posted March 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 Check the incompatible software list on the FAQ and read the entries carefully.Disabling does not work fyi, only an uninstall.I already read this list, and again after your post ;-) Did you have any specific entry in mind, because I can't see any of these entries will apply to me?[yeah, sorry for my bad English]TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aardvark01 Posted March 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 First: Thanks so far for your effort.I have to mention that the CPU-usage is normal (almost 0-zero). Memory usage seems also normal, no leaking processes.For now: I'll try to run without the McAfee Virusscan. Note, I'm not using Avast virusscan (only used for double-check and uninstalled after) or a software firewall.I'll post my results later...

Aardvark01 Posted March 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 I experience the same problems as described in:http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=7134http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=7143So far the workaround for me (not to eliminate the problems, but let them less occure; for about 8-14 hours) is:- diskio.write_queue_size = 32768- diskio.read_cache_size = 32768- never minimize the uTorrent windowSpecs: ADSL 3000/512, 1GB RAM, USB2.0 Interface/HDU, betabuild 432I will try build 434 and post later on ....

booky Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 U are not alone, I have experienced taskbar freez. It got worse as time passed so I had to reinstall Windows.I have used Sygate personal firewall and Kaspersky antivirus.We'll see what happens now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
booky Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 Well, I don't have problem any more.It appears that µtorrent was not causing the problem!!With instalation of µtorrent I bought new memory, new graphic card, installed new windows pack... I was doing my best to find solution for that.For now I think it was about memory drivers Anyway 1.5 is working fine for a while )Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
