Comment:

 I tried a fresh install.

 I'm using Windows 7, 64-bit.

 I tried installing 8.0.3 and I'm getting an error that says "you must have
 at least Windows 7 installed".

 I also tried to install the beta from the nightly build and got the same
 error.

 So I tried a fresh install of the 7.5 that I had and updated it.  When it
 updated, it tells me the version 8 is 32-bit.  Also, it's still hanging.

 Additionally, on the TorButton, it needs a fix in the version 8.  I see
 you can change "identity", but not the circuit for a specific site like in
 version 7.  This is a problem because it says it will close ALL tabs.
 Plus it doesn't show the circuit for that site, a necessity which was VERY
 useful because I could see when it actually changed circuits and I could
 use that info, in addition to the performance, to exclude nodes that
 weren't working for me.  It was also useful to ensure other criteria were
 being met (ie: if I needed a specific exit, etc).

 Please advise.

 Thank you.
