 Replying to [comment:7 psisis]:
 > I don’t know why you guys give me such a hard time. I outlined the
 problem clearly, posted my tor.exe output log, and said what I’ve tried.
 You keep assuming the real issue is deep within my system. A fresh bundle
 will not start either, and it’s impossible Tor is already running, since
 it’s on a drive not mounted at startup.

 Fair enough. We are not trying to give you a difficult time; we just could
 not understand what could be interfering with use of the local port 9150
 or 9050.

 > I put `user_pref("network.proxy.socks_port", 443);` in my `prefs.js`.
 And Tor starts now, thank you very much.

 I am very happy that Tor Browser is working for you once again!
