cptbobsis Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 I've been having some problems on both my laptops running utorrent 2.0.4. From time to time it suddently goes blue screen and restarts. This have happened to both my laptops, and i think windows 7 is part of the problem, because i also experienced the blue screen a few other times.But on one of my laptops it happened just a couple of days ago, and when i got utorrent up and running again it was no longer associated with the .torrent file. Everytime i start utorrent it tells me that its not associated even tho i say yes to have utorrent as my torrent program everytime. When i download a .torrent file and save it to my desktop and then run it, windows asks me what program i will use to open my torrent with. Utorrent isnt under the standard selection, but when i browse the utorrent icon in my program folder it simply wont select it. I cant associate utorrent with .torrent files anymore :/Is there any information i can provide that would help solve this problem?Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogly Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 You need to associate .torrent file with utorrent.exe stored in the folder %ProgramFiles%\uTorrent.Can you do that currently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cptbobsis Posted August 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 No. When i choose it nothing happens :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogly Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 Do you have utorrent.exe in %ProgramFiles%\uTorrent?And you can clean all the entries about .torrent in Windows registry then resassociate.Anyway you have to fix the BSOD on your computers.Find the crash dumps (C:\Windows\Minidump) and use this freeware to read .dmp files.http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/blue_screen_view.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myblackstang00 Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 I download using ISO HUNT I have had no trouble downloading onto u torrent and this past week, everything I try to download goes to windows media not U torrent, and windows media doesnt download anything? Is there a certain setting I have to use, but I honestly didnt change anything? I have windows 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 That may just be stupid on the part of the site you're downloading the .torrent files from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogly Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 If you download a torrent from Fedora ( http://torrent.fedoraproject.org/ ), does the .torrent file open normally into µT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myblackstang00 Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 no I download from iso hunt and it goes directly to windows player, and of course nothing happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogly Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 Does it go directly in WMP when you open a .torrent from your browser (internet) AND from your desktop too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myblackstang00 Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 yes, but just recently. I can open U torrent and my prior downloads are there and i can right click them and choose vlc or wmp to view them I search on isohunt, click download and instead of my U torrent page opening it, it goes through wmp.I then have to cancel it.

moogly Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 So the file association is broken in your web browser.When you download a .torrent from the web, your browser should call utorrent.exe not WMP.Look at the options in your browser to fix that, surely not very hard.Because the .torrent file association seems to be OK in your computer.

cptbobsis Posted September 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 Thanks for the response so far moogly.I've downloaded bluescreenview and got 5 different "crashes" from the 20/8-21/8 and I'm not sure which one was responsible for the file association problem. But I got one from 21/8 thats called "REGISTRY_ERROR" and it sounds to me like that could be the one.What to do from here, how can I fix my BSOD?Again thanks for the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
