justme99 Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 I am using Vista 64 and the current release of utorrent. A few days ago it stopped being the default torrent program. Through Default Programs/set defaults or associations it doenst accpet utorrent. Just disappears. Install Vuze and qbtorrent and both will register as default.I see that utorrent is installed in %user%/appdata/ and theres no option to install else where. Copied the dir over form the appdata to program files and still wont accept it as default.Tried various utilaties to change the association and they can get it to bind the .torrent to utorrent either. Is this build not Vista compatible? if so which version should i use that will work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciaobaby Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Then you need to remove the associations completely and reset them manually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciaobaby Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Copied the dir over form the appdata to program filesDid you also change the UAC setting for uTorrent? Or set it to run as The Administrator? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justme99 Posted July 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 UAC is offf. I am the owner of the appdata directory. Include inherited permissions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciaobaby Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Or set it to run as The Administrator? I am the owner of the appdata directory. Include inherited permissions.So that will be a "No" then I take it!!As explained in several threads having administrator privileges is NOT the same as running as Administrator.
