I've installed the Tor browser bundle 3.6.5 and when I run the "Start Tor Browser" file nothing happens. I check the task manager and what happens is a process named "Tor Browser (32 Bit)" appears for a few seconds then disappears. I've re-downloaded it 3 times to make sure I didn't get a corrupt installer or something. I tried disabling AVG antivirus but it didn't seem to help. Any ideas as to what might be the problem?

Edit: OS is Windows 8 64 bit

Tor browser uses two executable files at once, and if one of these is running, but not the other, the Tor browser won't work properly.

To shut down the processes (assuming Windows 7/Vista, Windows 8 is slightly different: you will just need to scroll down the list), open the task manager, click the "Processes" tab, and find "tor.exe *32," and end the process, also find "firefox.exe *32" and end it.

A simpler solution would be to restart your computer.
