That's what I tried to run, but it shows up a second in the task manager
and it's gone. Run as admin, user, with full path, relative path, tor -f
bla/bla/torrc, nothing.

I'll give it a try to this now. I'll return with results, who knows, some
other may benefit. Running in Linux was a bliss, install, properly make the
torrc, run as service. Oh, I also tried adding it as a service in win7,
succeeded, but it failed, too.

Thank you, I have a feeing I'll need some.
