utorrent won't turn off. I'm on Vista.

**Computer Barbie** · September 2nd, 2007, 07:54 PM

I have to log off of Vista to turn off utorrent. Logging off Vista to

turn off utorrent changes other settings on Vista. I tried version

1.7.2 & 1.7.1. Which torrent clients are Vista compatible? Any

advice? thanks

If you can, you might try another OS like XP! Vista is crap!

Yes I know, but it's not so simple to change to XP. A lot of things could go wrong.

Yes, if you don't know how to reformat your computer or what drivers are (Or if you have the ones you need after putting on XP) you'd better steer clear.

Or get someone who knows how to put XP on if you ever decide to make the switch.

I run 1.7.2 in Vista on my machine and it runs flawlessly. What happens when you try and close the program? does it crash, not do anything?

It freezes. I have to log off to turn it off. I can not even turn it off through the task manager.

I tried version 1.6.1 and it freezes then too.

Thanks for replying.

A few trackers till havent allowed 1.7.2 anyway...

Stick to the good classic stuff:

1.6.1 ftw

utorrent 1.6.1 works very fine in vista

I just tried Bit Spirit & it does the same thing. I think it is Vista.

Do you think I should do the sfc\scannow in RUN thingy or does that only work with XP?

Thanks for your responces.

u should try changing the compatibility it may work

I agree with you and do not like Vista but I think the Vista subject is OT here. We are discussing uTorrent.

If CB is using uTorrent 1.7.2 with Vista then she (he) should properly configure the preferences in this version of uTorrent to correct the problem she (he) is having.
