eduardo Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 I don't know why this happened, but my µTorrent 1.4 just informed that there's an update to 1.5 available and asked whether I want to download and install it or not. I clicked "yes" and after that I think that it got it installed, because Norton asked if I want to allow net traffic for it. But for some reason it doesn't work at all, I don't get µTorrent icon to the traybar or anything. It shows in processes list, but I can't even shut it down from there. 1.4 works just fine.

Firon Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 Just reboot or something, looks like Norton locked the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eduardo Posted March 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 I've tried. I also tried downloading it manually, but it just doesn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1c3d0g Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 Then uninstall Norton. :/ 1.5 works, no doubt about that. So it must be your PC. :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadek Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 1.5 works perfectly. It must be some other software error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alcaholjunkie Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 During the 1.4.x betas there was one of them which wouldn't load up properly, didn't show in the system tray or anything. I solved the problem by deleting the settings.dat and settings.dat.old from the %appdata%\utorrent directory before loading utorrent. Now it works fine for me.

eduardo Posted March 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 Indeed, it was a Norton issue. I closed Norton for a while, I started µTorrent and after that I restarted Norton. Now it works perfectly even if I restart µTorrent while Norton is on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mighty Buzzard Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 See, things like that are why I've told anyone who'd listen for more than ten years that Norton makes crap software. Back when I used to be assembly/repair guy it was almost a given that if the box was having problems and Norton software was installed on it, simply uninstalling Norton would fix it over half the time.

splintax Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 Yep, and I'm finding that more and more as Norton continue to release new versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
