I finally got around to playing with this some more.
Thank you for your message, Bruce. I searched for Vidalia and found an old bundle that appears to work perfectly on my Windows 10 machine.
Steps I took:
1. Download Vidalia Bundle 0.2.4.23 from http://vidalia-bundle.en.lo4d.com/ 2. Extract 3. Install 4. Start 5. The Vidalia Control Panel will pop-up 6. In settings, I changed the Tor executable from the one included with the Vidalia Bundle to the current version of Tor elsewhere on my system.
Like I said, it *appears* to be working. Can't find it in relay search yet, but I only set it up moments ago.

There used to be a VIDALIA (sp?) kit that could simply be downloaded and run on a windows machine. I then worked for an ISP/CLEC and had lots of bandwidth so ran Vidaalia on a 64 bit Windows 7 Ultimate machine on my desk at work.
I never did hear why something had changed at the tor project so that stopped working, but do remember a rude snippy condescending reply from someone on the mailing list so I lost interest.
I did get the head Tor guy from the Central Square Cambridge office of TOR to come speak at a local networking group's monthly meeting we held at a MicroSlush faclity in Burlington, MA and it was well received by a packed audience. I think he now has left TOR and works for some ISP.
