fire up commandline and type

taskkill /IM tor.exe /F (then press enter in your keyboard)
taskkill /IM polipo.exe /F (then press enter in your keyboard)
taskkill /IM vidalia.exe /F (then press enter in your keyboard)


then rerun vidalia

EDIT: I forgot, if all else fails reboot your computer.

uncheck "show this window in startup"
settings>> uncheck "start vidalia when my system starts"

reboot
rerun vidalia

I would also retry this

end this processes
tor.exe
and
vidalia.exe
this time
end process
conhost.exe

It might be blocked by a firewall.

Also why would you change from 7 back to Vista oO?

Well I'm only fishing in the dark because I've ditched Vista long ago...
If it's in the exception list and there's no other firewall installed it could be simply due to a busy network.

You could try another restart and see if that helps (end processes if it's necessary)
