If you follow the instructions in the FAQ (posted by Bob) and remember
to copy the files in the DataDirectory to C:\Program Files\Tor (posted
by Bob & Pat Frank) everything should work.

If Tor needs to have Administrator rights, start Services (from Control
Panel | Administrative Tools or just type services.msc from a command
prompt), right-click on the Tor service and select Properties. Click on
the Log On tab and check that it's set to Local System account. If it
still doesn't run you can force it to use a specific user account
(either Administrator, or a user that you've created that belongs to the
Administrators group).

Hope that helps.
