 Using the following:

 OS: Windows 7 64bit
 *Vidalia: 0.2.12
 *Tor: 0.2.1.30
 *Torbutton: 1.2.5
 *Pilipo: 1.0.4.1

 *= As apart of tor browser bundle 1.3.24.
 -----

 I am using the Tor browser bundle for windows version 1.3.24. Everything
 works just fine, but I want to use it with polipo. I have my Vidalia
 configured to launch polipo on startup, however, when I check my processes
 it doesn't show up in the list. When I manually launch polipo from the
 .exe, making sure I have it set to launch the .conf file with the
 parameters '-f polipo.conf', I see the command prompt appear for a split
 second before it vanishes. Checking the processes list afterwards shows it
 is still not running.

 Interestingly enough however, if I DO NOT have polipo set to launch with
 the .conf file, then the command prompt will stay open, but polipo itself
 won't work of course. I wish to have polipo up and running, but it simply
 won't launch.
