 TBB 3.0a4 in Vista x64 hm prem SP2.  Downloaded a copy, checksum verified.

 The "installer" runs, extracts all files (AFAICT).  By choosing either
 "run TBB now" or clicking the start tor browser.exe file, it only opens
 the border / frame of a browser window & a transparent browser pane.

 "Tor Network Settings" shows on upper L corner of Nav bar.

 Tor.exe 32 shows to be running in task mgr.  When click on the border of
 the empty browser, no throbber appears, as if it's through w/ any start
 process.

 Uninstalled / reinstalled several times - no change.

 Just extracting the files on this series doesn't seem to work. Extracts
 the files, but then can't start the browser exe file at all.
