 This workaround does NOT work:

 "In Vidalia, go to Settings->Advanced and uncheck the box that says
 'Configure ControlPort automatically'. Click OK and restart TBB. Your
 Socks port will then be on 9050."

 The socks port stays on auto no matter what you do. Not able to set any
 other apps to use TOR. PLEASE HELP ASAP !!!!
