moogly Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 Little bit similar to that (http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=82842), maybe?Anyway there is likely a bug with Win 2k and the dialog box in µT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moogly Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 Yep, that will be a good test to know if the culprit is Win 2K or a bug in µT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moogly Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 Yes, I saw 2 or 3 reports about a bug relative to the dialog box, so I guess yours is a case of this bug. And Win 2K is implied in all these few reports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yury Posted August 29, 2010 Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 I do not expect fix for that problem since MS dropped W2k support for good, and the problem still persist in 2.0.4 build 21586. But purely in theory, could it be the same issue that forced developer of XnView release version 1.97.6 http://newsgroup.xnview.com/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=20245 ?

moogly Posted August 29, 2010 Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 Yes, that seems to be the same issue (http://newsgroup.xnview.com/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=20208&p=84940). I don't know XnView, is it open source? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yury Posted August 29, 2010 Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 It's free for non-commercial private use. I'm here not to promote this app, but Pierre, who developes XnView, seems to be a person of good will and kind heart as i can judge by XnView's forum (well, at least he pays attention to his app users wishes). So if you ask him, he might help. May be yes, may be not, but you wont know until you try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogly Posted August 29, 2010 Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 Well, anyway, I'm not a dev of µT, so my help ends here. So I guess Firon or a dev will read this thread and see what they need to eventually fix this bug with Win 2K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewman Posted September 5, 2010 Report Share Posted September 5, 2010 Yep, that will be a good test to know if the culprit is Win 2K or a bug in µT.I'm not saying it's NOT unique to Windows 2000 but this problem didn't start for me until Utorrent and Bittorrent did the last upgrade. I was originally using Bittorrent and after the 7.0 upgrade I lost the left click feature when choosing individual files to download (right click select/deselect still works). Then it started crashing so frequently that I switched to Utorrent, thinking that might help, but the symptoms are exactly the same... I used bittorrent flawlessly for over 1 year before the 7.0 upgrade... I hope they address these glitches for Those of us that run 2000 Servers... Right now I'm thinking about switching back to bittorrent 6.4 because that was still very stable for me and left click select/deselect worked...

Firon Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 Honestly, you should just upgrade away from 2000. I mean, it's a totally unsupported OS at this point. No hotfixes, security improvements, anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davexnet Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 There are still security fixes.Many of us are using older PC's and Win2k works better due to it's very light foot print.I have mine running in a 3GB partition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yury Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 No, on Juny 13 2010 Microsoft stopped support for Win2k, no bugfixes anymore, at least official from Windows Update service. Though for the system it is running on Win2k is the best choice, XP would not give any benefits. But developer guys, why don't you just rewrite uTorrent simply in .NET Framework 4 for 64 bit? It would spare you a complains like this. Backward compatibility doesn't seem to be the strong side of your application anyway. You can stop pack the exe with UPX too, because 300 KB against 600 KB does not brings any profit in the times of monstrous installations of Vista or torrents of a many GBs content.Regards.

moogly Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Win 2k is dead. Stop living in Dark Ages, upgrade or use another OS like Linux distros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davexnet Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 My main machine, while not exactly state-of-the art performs well and bootsPCLinuxOS , XP & Vista - and I make good use of all three.However, I have an older box which I run Windows 98 & Win2k on.It's really too old to upgrade and it still works fine for kids games (Windows 98), emailand utorrent (Win2k) - apps which use little CPU.(trying to run Flash animation in the web browser is too demanding, so that gives you someidea as to the kind of PC we're talking about)If you can see from the image I posted above there was a Windows 2000 updatejust last week.

moogly Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 If you can see from the image I posted above there was a Windows 2000 updatejust last week.Your capture doesn't prove anything. In fact your computer is NOT up-to-date with the latest Win 2000 updates.You installed the update KB952069 few days ago but MS released KB952069 on 12/9/2008.http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyId=6A459497-0AB8-41CB-87D0-B551631D8D8A&displaylang=enAnd as I said, Win 2000 is not supported anymore by MS: http://support.microsoft.com/ph/1131 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
needless-tinkering-why Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 Microsoft not supporting an OS is a bit of a red herring, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
