I have an incompatible software installed, and µTorrent becomes unresponsive

If you are using any software known to cause unresponsiveness, then try updating it to the latest version. If that doesn't help, then currently, the only option is for you to uninstall that application (and maybe use a compatible alternative) if you wish to use µTorrent. You may also want to try searching the forums for any workarounds that may not have yet been added here.
