Guest MuffinMan7580 Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 I was prompted to update my old version of BitTorrent, so I did, now it constantly crashes. Why? What was wrong with it in the first place (It looked like it was in a window, everyone wants something to look pretty nowadays). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SolariStar Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 @Tth (if this person is ever going to come back): DId you do what Harold suggested (disabling [temp uninstalling] F-Secure and doing the thing with the Settings.dat and the Settings.dat.old files?To everyone else: What is your antivirus or autobackup software? (If your AV/Auto Backup software is causing issues try disabling it and see if it solves the issue.)Also: If you want to not update just uncheck the 'check for updates' box in the settings menu (under general settings).

Guest aimee Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 I removed those files suggested (settings.dat and settings.dat.old), and that seems to be working. I'm gonna try and reactivate my McAfee antivirussoftware... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dollymadison Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Where can I download an older version? I'd rather just install an older version than wait for someone to try to come up with a fix for this. If I can't get an older version, I'll just uninstall and start using Utorrent! This is really annoying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
