 Hello, recently Tor browser has stopped working for me and now everytime I
 try to run it I get "Vidalia was unable to connect to tor. (connection
 refused by peer.)" From a user-perspective, I made NO changes.

 I have not changed any settings on Tor.

 I am running the latest version of the Tor Browser Bundle
 (https://www.torproject.org/dist/torbrowser/tor-browser-2.2.37-1_en-
 US.exe)

 When I try running the program it starts off as "Not responding" which
 never happened before then it leads to the error.

 It also says Vidalia was unable to start the configured proxy server.

 Things ive tried -

 netsh winsock restart via cmd
 Reinstalling Tor
 Port forwarding (9050/9051)
 Disabling/Enabling firewall
 Changing ports for Tor
 Restarting computer
 Running as admin

 Running Vista x86
