tinc - Dec 2004 - WinXP won't start Tinc after shutdown

Hello,
  I wanted to figure this out myself, but sadly I can't.
  I started Tinc under XP/SP1, it worked great. I wanted to make a change 
in the config, so I went to the services control and stopped Tinc. Now when 
I go to start it I get this error:
No Windows tap device found!.

  Yet, I see a tap device in 'Device Manager' and in 'My Network
Places'.

  It works fine under Linux (other than not binding to the port I want, 
small problem. I will fix that). It is just Windows that is being a pain.

  Could someone be kind on a VPN/Tinc under Windows neophyte?

Thanks,
Scott Brown

Which version of tinc do you use and did you upgrade to SP2? Only 1.0.3
works with SP2, but you have to reinstall the TAP-Win32 device driver.
