OK, I can't reproduce this under Windows 7 x64. I did everything you mentioned, then started a torrent using the default settings (no label) and let it run. Download speed was deliberately limited to 5 KB/s to make the test last as long as possible. Serenity always reported zero traffic and 0% completion, verified via packet capture. No crash dumps upon exiting either.
I suggest the following potential solutions, listed from most to least likely to work based on the details you've given so far.
- Do a clean install. Delete the %AppData%\uTorrent directory if it exists, then (re)create it and move all mod files besides the EXEs and DLL inside.
- Run the mod and settings manager as administrator, set Windows XP SP3 compatibility mode for them, or combine both.
- Apply the following registry values and reboot.
Code:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager]
"CWDIllegalInDllSearch"=dword:00000000
"SafeDLLSearchMode"=dword:00000000
"ProtectionMode"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\uSerenity.exe]
"MitigationOptions"=hex(b):00,22,22,02,22,22,22,22
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\uSerenity Settings.exe]
"MitigationOptions"=hex(b):00,22,22,02,22,22,22,22
