It seems like µTorrent is already running, but not responding

Hi all,

I keep getting this window every time I log on to Windows. There doesn't seem to have a CheckBox to untick "Don't show this message again" either.

Have any of you got the same problem? If so would like to know how you fixed it.

Thanks,

McoreD

Do you have a firewall or antivirus app?

Check msconfig... do you see more than one entry of µTorrent in the startup list?

Just realized this was reported before.

Thanks Ultima.

there are two entry's in the registry under run

one as uTorrent

and one as µTorrent

and you have said

That's probably why then. The devs made use of Unicode more consistently in 1.7, so the startup entry's name was also changed into the Unicode form µ instead of the simple u. Disabling the old one (utorrent) should be enough.

and that's the reason.

May be in the final version, some code can be added to delete the old uTorrent entry?

Dunno... feels like it would be simpler to tell the user to just go through the msconfig thing -- an extra Registry check in the software sounds... unclean (to me anyhow). I'm not sure what the devs think about that idea, though, so who knows, maybe they might add it.
