Comment(by swt1951swt):

 the original problem, produced over and over ad nauseam, occurred when i
 had installed vidalia under a non-admin account. then, tor could sometimes
 complete a circuit and sometimes not, but i could never verify that i was
 using tor. unfortunately, i didn't save the logs. since then, i
 uninstalled vidalia under my non-admin account and reinstalled it under my
 admin account, where everything works. i just went back to my non-admin
 account and ran the vidalia that i installed in my admin account. if i
 just run vidalia as non-admin, polipo doesn't run (it's not listed as a
 running process and firefox indicates "the proxy server is refusing
 connections"). if i run vidalia as admin, everything is fine. attached is
 a detailed vidalia log for the instance where polipo doesn't run. if it
 would help, i will uninstall vidalia under my admin account and reinstall
 it under my non-admin account to try to reproduce the original problem
 along with log entries
