Further observation revealed that only old torrents were showing that error message. All new torrents were downloading just fine even if the compatibility mode was disabled. The solution to the problem was therefor an access problem of the new Windows 7 user account. More precisely a write access problem.

It was thankfully very easy to fix. A right-click on a temporary file or folder in the uTorrent cache folder and the selection of Properties opened a window with configuration possibilities. The Security tab at the top of the window lead to the access permissions for the selected file or folder. It displayed the access rights for various system users including the system administrator, the content owner (that’s the Windows XP user in this case) and the currently logged in user.

This can be easily changed by clicking on the Edit link to edit permissions for specific users of the computer system. All it takes is to select the current user in that new window and add write access permissions for that user. Once that is done the torrents will download just fine without errors.

The same write problem exists for other files that have been created in the previous operating system. If you are encountering write problems you simply need to add the write permission for the logged in user to be able to save the file.

The first thing that they should try is to uninstall all remains of previous Java installations. This can be done from the Windows Control Panel. The user can then try to install Java again once Java has been uninstalled and the computer rebooted. Another possibility to ensure that no traces of Java are left on the computer system is to run the excellent JavaRa software program which can remove all Java files and information from the computer.

It might happen that the error 25099 is still popping up after completely removing Java from the system. Another option to try is to check the change destination folder during installation and pick a different folder for the installation of Java.

This should fix the problem “Error 25099 Unzipping Core Files Failed” that some users have when trying to install Java on a computer running the Windows operating system.

The ICSI Netalyzr is a new beta online network troubleshooting analyzer that can analyze various aspects of a computer’s network connection. It is made up of a Java applet that has to be executed on the user’s system. The benefits of a Java Applet are that it is system independent and that it can access and analyze the computer’s hardware and other aspects of the computer system.

The analysis will take a while and an in depth network troubleshooting report will be generated and presented to the user in the end.

The network troubleshooting report is divided into two sections. The first reports on noteworthy events and is further divided into major abnormalities and minor aberrations. The second section displays the detailed network troubleshooting report that is colored for easier access. Entries with red backgrounds describe network problems while green backgrounds display unproblematic network elements.

Each title in the report is clickable leading to a short explanation of how the tests are conducted. Related articles can be found about Network Bandwidth and Network Monitoring Software.

That scan is detecting security vulnerabilities (automatic updates service not running), Registry problems, System Clutter but also unnecessary startup items and an unoptimized Internet speed. The user has the choice to let System Mechanic handle the errors and repair them automatically or view a list of the errors that have been found and correct them on a one on one basis which is definitely recommended.

Users who download and install System Mechanic will spend some time exploring all the menus and tools that are available.
