I got a message to upgrade my Tor version..

Nov 10 10:20:45.953 [Warning] Please upgrade! This version of Tor 
(0.2.1.30) is obsolete, according to the directory authorities. 
Recommended versions are: 0.2.1.31,0.2.2.34,0.2.3.6-alpha,0.2.3.7-alpha

But (as before) the latest versions of the expert install do not work.


Here's the stable..

My vidalia is 0.2.10 which works fine..

Are there any solutions ? Or is Win2K no longer being supported by? , if 
so the tor sites download page should be changed to reflect that
