triglyph Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 I am trying to work with OpenVPN. It installed correctly (or so it seems) but when I click on it, nothing happens. If I click again, I get a message "OpenVPN GUI is already running." If I type a command into "run", such as "OpenVPN" or any other command, a console window opens but then closes instantly; less than a second. I can see different commands in the window but it goes too quickly to read them. I've had similar problems in the last few days: the console window just flashes for a moment and then disappears. Is there some setting in Windows 7 I need to change? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MANEMAN Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 Event viewer in Windows 7 should/may give you some clue as to what is happening, although I would take a guess at a user setup problem rather than Windows 7 being specifically at fault. OpenVPN have their own very good community support forum. Reading past posts there, or even asking a direct question as you have here may open up a larger arena of diagnostics for you. Specialist forums are always the quickest way to go when seeking answers to problems with specific tie-ins to third party software or scripting, as you have the likelihood of a higher number of people using "The Software" with a large range of operating systems. You can contact OpenVPN Support Forum here:https://forums.openvpn.net/ If you are not that au fait with Windows 7 operating system diagnostics Mike Halsey MVP has done a series of videos which you can find on "Windows Forum" - here: http://forums.window...showtopic=48268 and here: http://forums.window...showtopic=48409 It doesn't come much better than having a Microsoft MVP guide you through Windows 7, and being able to follow at your own pace. :) There is also a quick guide video on the forum here which will show you how to create a desktop shortcut to many other Windows 7 tips & tutorials. You can find that here:http://forums.window...showtopic=49290 John. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Is there nothing in the systray that lets you configure OpenVPN? (After you initially run it?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
