ciaobaby Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 something changed on my computer to prevent this?PossiblyUse Preferences -> General -> [ Associate with torrent files ] (if not greyed out)Otherwise fix the associations in your browser.

Beasly Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 Otherwise fix the associations in your browser.Have you tried to reassociate .torrent in each of your browsers?It may be you had .torrent associations with another software that is no longer on your system other than utorrent....ex: frostwire, vuze, etc.What is the associated program for .torrent in Control panei> Default programs say?Try right clicking on a random .torrent stored on your computer and select "open with..." then select uTorrent.exeIf all else fails....Right click on the Desktop and go to New -> Text Document. Open the text document and copy and paste this into it:Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.torrent]@="uTorrent"[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.torrent\OpenWithProgids]"uTorrent"=""[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\uTorrent][HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\uTorrent\shell]@="open"[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\uTorrent\shell\open][HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\uTorrent\shell\open\command]@="\"C:\\Program Files\\uTorrent\\uTorrent.exe\" \"%1\""Step 6: Exit out of notepad and rename "New Text Document.txt" to "fix.reg" and click to merge into registry.Step 7: Find a torrent file, right click it, and make it open with uTorrent again. (The uTorrent executable is located in "C:\Program Files\uTorrent\uTorrent".Step 8: Double click the torrent file and see if it properly opens in uTorrent.
