Title: Help needed creating torrents
Post by: wsphansam on October 29, 2004, 05:16:29 PM

I am getting an error message whenever I try to launch a program that creates torrents. I have tried both TorrentSpy and MakeTorrent. They install fine, however when I double click to launch I get the standard windows xp error message saying an error has occured and it must close the program. Any ideas what could be causing this, or any other recomendations for another program to try.

Does your computer crash on any other apps?  Whats the error message your getting? (click on details)

1. See whats going on in the event viewer.  Click on Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Event Viewer and check out the applications and System logs for problems.

2. Go into Add / Remove programs from the control panel and uninstall any pos application you don't truley need including any torrent software.  (we'll reinstall them later)

3. Clean temp files, IE history, cookies, ect.

4. Install > Update > Run spyware software, either Spysweeper by Webroot or Adaware by Lavasoft, their both free.

5. Reinstall the latest torrent sofware.
