Check your port settings as well as the Firewall.

uTorrent is running fine on my copy of Vista Ultimate.

What version of azureus are you using? I'm running 2.5.0.4 and haven't had any problems with it.

I installed the latest version of Azureus on Vista, and initially it wouldn't start the program...gave me errors. However, I tried again later that evening, and it worked fine, and has since. Not sure what caused the change.

I'll bet that windows defender was the problem.

hmm where do I go to change the port settings in windows firewall? I'm trying to use ABC and I Just disabled firewall but it doesnt seem to be working properly yet.... the torrents are in gold instead of green

whoops might have just figured it out... i forgot I changed the ports in my router... so I had to change the ports in abc to match the ones i set in my router

I use Bitcomet and it works fine.

uTorrent here. Good.

azureus worked just fine for me..

basically, disable windows firewall (if you already have a router), install the latest JRE from Sun (JRE 1.6), then make sure you have a copy of msvcr71.dll in your system32 folder and you should be good to go..

Isn't 2.5.0.4 like...over a year old? I'm pretty sure that was the version I used before switching to uTorrent. Maybe I'm thinking of 2.2.0.4?
