coolerdayz Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 I recently unistalled google chrome, (cause I don't like it), and since that point, when I type anything into the search web part of the program, it wont do anything. is this something new, or should that even matter? I even unistalled utorrent and reinstalled it after the fact, and still nothing. any help on this would be great. by the way, I can go to each website (pirate bay, kick ass, etc.) and download straight from there, but sometimes I like to just type in the torrent name there and let it search for me.

DreadWingKnight Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 It's not a uTorrent thing, it's a windows thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciaobaby Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 Depends on what browser you use, but usually you just answer [Yes] to the alert that says."[this browser] is not set as default, would you like to do that now" (or words to that effect.

coolerdayz Posted June 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 ok, that I understand (use this as your default browser), but not sure where to set that up. gone to the control panel and looked up any connections to the internet, and the only thing I can set up is the default homepage. are you saying that I need to set up a default browser on my router? I have windows 7 and use IE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciaobaby Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 Then you may need to set it as default for ALL the appropriate protocols and extensions.Control Panel -> Programs -> Default Programs -> Set Default Programs -> Set Program Associations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolerdayz Posted June 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 awesome! thanks for showing me that! I know what I did.
