 I don't know why. But TOR/Vidalia just stopped working for me. I've never
 had any problem with it. Just installed and launched without any error
 messages.

 Still, this message pops up:

 "Vidalia was unable to authenticate to the Tor software. (Control socket
 is not connected).

 Please check your control port authentication settings"

 '''?!?!?!?! '''

 Googled for it without any success. Reinstalled Vidalia/TOR '''x''' times,
 installed the latest version (Alpha), etc etc. Why won't it work anymore?
 I havent change any setting at all. Anywhere.

 Version: vidalia-bundle-'''0.2.3.10-alpha-0.2.15-1'''.exe
 Windows XP

 Please, help.

 Thanks in advance,
 /K
