 I had been running Tor on Windows Vista successfully until now.
 Startup is failing with the following error.

  Oct 23 14:30:01.921 [Notice] Tor v0.2.1.30. This is experimental
 software. Do not rely on it for strong anonymity.
 (Running on Windows "Longhorn" Service Pack 2 [workstation] {personal}
 {terminal services, single user})

 using method win32. Good.

 left us in a broken state. Dying.

 Where and how do I grant permission? Thanks
