 I am using Tor Browser bundle, which I had to upgrade to latest version.
 When I start to run Tor Browser Vidalia Control -screen opens up ok, but
 then I get error message "Firefox is already running, but is not
 responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing
 Firefox process, or restart your system."

 I am running Windows 7, and Tor Browser was extracted to "Program files
 (x86)"-folder. This is apparently linked to file attributes, Win 7 seems
 to mark all files as "read only" in Program files -folder. I managed to
 get rid of the error message by extracting Tor to a regular folder
 (desktop).

 This might be a good hint to add to the installation instructions.

 Regards,
