Hello ,

Completely remove utorrent, first use the normal uninstaller, then go to the search box in the start menu and type %appdata% and hit enter.
In the window that pops up delete the utorrent folder located there.
Then go back to their primary site and download and install the newest version.
http://www.utorrent.com/

This should solve any issues caused by corrupt files or settings in the program.
you will lose any current download progress though.

I have tried that and still getting same error message ??

 

[Maguscreed]

have you opened utorrent hit control + g and run through the connection setup util, or are you unable to get that far?

 

[giggsybhoy1975]

I got to set up guide but don't know what do do now

 

[Maguscreed]

just click run tests and see if it spits out any problems.

 

[giggsybhoy1975]

It says connection failed error and neither NAT - PMP or UPnP is enabled

Are you connecting through a router?
If so you may want to go to the router settings and enable the NAT feature.
Might clear things up for you.

How do I do that? I am using sky wireless network. I was in the advanced section and changed values. How do I reset figures in preferences to the default?

Configure your Sky Netgear Router's Wireless Settings

there's a discussion on it. For setting it to default they usually have a tiny button on the back you have to press with the bent end of a paperclip or something that will reset factory values.
You should probably look over the thread though.

Unless the router is in bridged mode NAT should be enabled, thats the basic function of a router. My guess is its UPnP thats probaly not enabled.

Well generally with utorrent I would just portforward but I'm not familiar with this specific router he's using so I can't give direct instructions.

Thats what I did on one of my older routers. My latest D-Link router has UPnP so Utorrent can do it on its own without having to mess with port forwarding and static IPs. My earlier post wasn't meant as a criticism, just an observation.

 

[giggsybhoy1975]

would restoring computer back to factory settings help?

 

[giggsybhoy1975]

Got it working through set up guide by turning off firewall but still have problem where health and ratings etc not there anymore was trying to speed up utorrent what can I do

 

[Maguscreed]

I think the remaining issue has to do with your router, and not the computer or windows itself.
Unfortunately as I said above I am not familiar with your specific router so I can't walk you through those steps.
