 Replying to [comment:8 skankhunt42]:
 > I have had to reinstall tor 9 times since september on my laptop.
 Sometimes it works for a couple weeks, sometimes it stops working like
 this before I can do anything in the browser. I tried looking at it in
 process viewer, but I couldn't find anything trying to use the files
 besides tor itself. When it is not running, nothing is using the files (as
 expected)

 I am sorry that Tor Browser is not working reliably for you. This ticket
 is closed and it references a very old version of Tor Browser, but i you
 can provide updated information such as the following then it might be
 worthwhile to reopen this ticket:
 * The exact behavior and error messages that you see.
 * Your Windows version, e.g., Windows 7 Pro 32bit.
 * Your Tor Browser version (and if you are not using the current version,
 please upgrade).
 * Tor Browser installation method, e.g., are you doing a clean install to
 fix the problem?
 * Tor Browser upgrade method, e.g., are you using the built-in updater?
 * Information about any anti-virus / anti-malware software that you are
 using. And does it help to disable all anti-virus / anti-malware software?
