 I'm using the TOR Browser bundle with Polipo, Vidalia and TorButton in
 Firefox.
 My operating system is Windows 7 Professional (32 bit)

 Whenever I try to open a hidden service, I get the following error:

 504 Connect to www.onion:80 failed: General SOCKS server failure

 The following error occurred while trying to access http://www.onion/:

 504 Connect to www.onion:80 failed: General SOCKS server failure

 This is the Vidalia message log of the failed connection:

 I'm technically not very sophisticated, so I would greatly appreciate any
 help/suggestions.
