    Tor not working... sigh

    I got a sony vaio with windows 8. Just started reloading all my old junk. Tor bundle isn't working. I'll click on it to pull a page up and it says "unable to start vidalia".

    wtf does that even mean?

    First of all - death to Windows 8. It is the pain in my working day ass.

    I just had a little read about your problem and can't really see much. Is that the exact error or are there other parts to it?

    Vidala is the service behind the Tor browser. Vidala is what does all the routing to make your connection secure. Last time I used Tor browser you had to start Vidala before you could even run the browser.

    Vidalia is the grey window that opens where you click "Start Tor Browser" and "Use a New Identity" etc. - not the actual window you browse in

    Try redownloading it? It might not be compatible with windows 8

    Now that I'm free, I'd be happy to take a look into this for you. PM me and I'm sure we can work it out together.
