Got 2 problems :(




1st problem.. the playlist pane on the right in WMP11 is gone! i clicked a blue arrow that "hid" it but now i cant get it back!!

2nd problem.. ive been using utorrent for some time and ive never had a problem with it.. I reinstalled windows vista a few days ago and i installed utorrent again so i can download my torrents.. anywho.. things have been going well untill now. utorrent is using 40% (approx) cpu all the time but only 20mb ram and the whole system slows right down as if the cpu usage was 100%.. so when i right click on utorrent in the system tray and exit the system returs to normal.. ive uninstalled it and reinstalled it.. tryied it in safe mode (same slow down) so im stummped! anyone have any clue as to why its doing this?

Thanks

For you first problem:


Bring up media player and right click "now playing" and select "show list pane"

Second problem:

Im not sure what the probelm is but try using Azureus instead, its a lot better than Utorrent. http://azureus.sourceforge.net/

Lies!!! Azureus is coded in Javascript and so therefore sucks! But if utorrent is stuffed then I would suggest trying another one... no problems here though... instead of installing try the stand alone executable which is also downloadable from their website.

Be a little if you don't have the latest version of uTorrent. There was a significant problem in connection with at least one earlier version--possibly a vulnerability. Do a search. I hope all turns out well.

Not sure I can help, but what kind of drive is it--other than a network drive? And, I assume that it is a stand-alone drive. Do I get a kiss for trying to help with uTorrent? Do I have to solve the network drive problem to get one?

"Do I have to solve the network drive problem to get one?"

Yes

Its a maxtor drive.. it works fine from other pc's or even directly on the server the drive is in.. so its not a drive issue... its somthing on my pc as it worked in safe mode but not in normal mode.. and i dont have a clue how to pin point the problem

If it worked in Safe Mode and not Normal I would suggest it is an authority issue... when you use safe mode it allows your account full admin status... hence why you can access it. Try and access it as admin and see if that works.
