For some reason, and somehow my fingerprint for tor changed about a
month ago :(
It is now : C9FD236FDE28003315BD8C96EE94BC58D85FBACF
It used to be: B1B10104EB72A1FBBF6687B05F1915D87D00DBDE
Anyone have any idea why this would have happened?
Thanks,

Tor 0.2.4.23 is EOLed and is blacklisted from the network. Vidalia is also EOL
and unmaintained.

If you want a Windows relay, you'll have to configure manually whether you like
it or not. It's hard (Tor is Unix-native), and performance sucks when compared
to Linux/BSD/macOS, but on the positive Windows is still better for relay
diversity than Linux.
If there is Linux malware hurting the Tor network, we shouldn't just hope for
BSD variants to keep us alive. Closed source or not, we should also consider
Windows as an alternative relay OS (if you have a license or are willing to buy
one). And I'm saying this as someone who runs FreeBSD relays and a FreeBSD
desktop myself.
You can also use a VM, and it may be easier, but if I were you, just use the
expert bundle and try to configure Tor as a NT service. You won't have to worry
about a hypervisor and will help relay diversity along the way.

I finally got around to playing with this some more.
Thank you for your message, Bruce. I searched for Vidalia and found an
old bundle that appears to work perfectly on my Windows 10 machine.
Steps I took:
1. Download Vidalia Bundle 0.2.4.23 from http://vidalia-bundle.en.lo4d.com/
2. Extract
3. Install
4. Start
5. The Vidalia Control Panel will pop-up
6. In settings, I changed the Tor executable from the one included
with the Vidalia Bundle to the current version of Tor elsewhere on my
system.
Like I said, it *appears* to be working. Can't find it in relay search
yet, but I only set it up moments ago.

There used to be a VIDALIA (sp?) kit that could simply be downloaded and
run on a windows machine. I then worked for an ISP/CLEC and had lots of
bandwidth so ran Vidaalia on a 64 bit Windows 7 Ultimate machine on my
desk at work.
I never did hear why something had changed at the tor project so that
stopped working, but do remember a rude snippy condescending reply from
someone on the mailing list so I lost interest.
I did get the head Tor guy from the Central Square Cambridge office of
TOR to come speak at a local networking group's monthly meeting we held
at a MicroSlush faclity in Burlington, MA and it was well received by a
packed audience. I think he now has left TOR and works for some ISP.
