µTorrent freezing Windows 7
A word of caution. After I managed to install Windows 7 64bit my machine started to freeze. Completely freezing, not the blue screen of death, not the black screen of death, not the ‘this program has stopped responding’ kind of freeze. It was the ‘if I had a CRT monitor the picture would be burned in by now’ kind of freeze. Why? Because of the µTorrent. After running it for 15 minutes or so machine was freezing constantly. This only happens on 64bit version of Windows 7, 32bit version is ok.
I am not sure if this is related to the fact that µTorrent is downloading on TrueCrypted drive, but I am not going to test this theory. The impostor was already removed from my disks and I was just copying a load of stuff to and from the encrypted drive for two hours now and no freezing.

I have uTorrent running on 64bit Win7 without any issues.
Peter, for me it doesn’t work. I think it has to do something with TrueCrypt, but I am not sure. Now the only solution for now that I have is not to use it.
I am sure that by not using it you will be at a loss. Maybe MS could check if there is some connection between uTorrent and TrueCrypt with 64bit Win7. I am sure they are aware of the issue by now.
Probably TrueCrypt: https://www.poller.se/blog/2009/01/23/windows-7-and-truecrypt/.
Yes Peter, interesting. Don’t really understand how does the article relate to the problem but interesting.
