Thank you for the response. I could test the latest Vidalia on the same 
computer (same hadware) but under Windows XP and it works pretty fine. 
However, it was impossible to uninstall the lastest version and to 
install 0.0.7 under Windows Millenium, I keep getting the same error 
message (Vidalie.exe is linked (or bound) to a missing export of 
ADVAPI32DLL:ChangeServiceConfig2W. As I don't know what to do and which 
files to remove, it's rather hard to install back 0.0.7 for me, and 
worse, this version doesn't seem to work properly under Win Me either: 
the first time I installed it, my system had become sluggish and 
unresponsive.

Hope that later releases will fix these issues and that this information 
will be helpful in some way. Until then, a little warning on the website 
could make sense.
