Hello Alan,
I'm sorry for the inconvenience, those were hyperlinks which you can click on and it will lead you directly to those public sources. When you hover with your mouse over it you will notice a link to which it is leading.
This article here also might help is this one: https://social.technet.microsoft.com...ovistasecurity
Some information is this article here https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/ticket/839 which suggest to ignore that error.
I'm sorry for the confusion, I was referring to these articles and I will also provide direct links for other articles mentioned in my previous reply:
You can check and follow the recommended steps these articles below.

It is mentioned in OpenVPN github section here https://github.com/OpenVPN/openvpn-gui/issues/303 that OpenVPNServiceInteractive error looks like a local issue.
For some users uninstalling both OpenVPN and TAP adapter helped as in this article here: https://forums.openvpn.net/viewtopic.php?t=25770
With this article you can see how to check if you have administrator privileges https://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch001093.htm but from what you mentioned it seems that's not a problems.
On your Windows XP machine can you do the following commands in command prompt, press 'Windows Key + R' and then type in cmd in the Run box and hit Enter. Now type in the following command in Command Prompt, enter this both when you are not connected to VPN and also while connected to VPN:
nslookup hide.me
nslookup hide.me 8.8.8.8
route print
And on your Vista computer, uninstall your previous OpenVPN client and download and install this OpenVPN version and try connecting with it later. If you're using 32-bit version download this one here: https://build.openvpn.net/downloads/...-I001-i686.exe
In case you're using 64-bit version try this one here: https://build.openvpn.net/downloads/...001-x86_64.exe
Regarding this screenshot https://imgur.com/KMk8m1F - VPN client Adapter is adapter for SoftEther and TAP Windows Adapter V9 adapter is for OpenVPN.
Please check that you are not connecting both SoftEther and OpenVPN connection at the same time.
Also, on Windows XP and Vista please try (this configuration file), you can also try it on other computer and let me know if it is working better.
Sincerely,
Nathan

This is a follow-up to your previous request #9298971 "AW: [hide.me Support] Re: [..."
Hello Nathan.
Thanks for your last reply.
( I have been away for a while so am only just now looking again at my VPN
stuff, so sorry that the feedback is a bit late.
I have not had time to look thoroughly further at my XP/SoftEther issue yet. I will do this and then report back to you in another EMail. )
Mainly this Email is concerned with my Vista/OpenVPN issue…

Regarding the issue with starting Services on some of my machines.
Looking at some of the articles seems to suggest that I may need to fiddle around with some clever stuff on re booting etc. So I think I will leave that issue for a while. My guess is that the issue with starting Services on some of my machines is not too directly relevant to my main remaining VPN issues. So I do not want to risk doing any damage messing around with things outside my computer knowledge capabilities…
Maybe I will re look at the issue with starting Services on some of my machines at a later date.

Regarding OpenVPNServiceInteractive issues.
Once again I think this may not be so important or relevant directly to my main remaining VPN issues. As it has been mentioned a few times that the error can be ignored, then , for now, I will ignore that issue.

Regarding Tap issues and de installing / re installing things
I have de installed / re installed, restarted things, de activated / re activated things many more times than I can remember…. I am coming to the conclusion that if you use VPN then de installing / re installing ,
restarted things, de activating / re activating things is something that you need to do constantly….. continually I get strange sporadic internet problems more and more often since I have been using VPN. Often a strange
new problem goes away after de installing / re installing, restarted , de activating / re activating things.
So I am routinely doing all sorts of de installing / re installing, restarted things, de activating / re activating things. That often solves a new problem, which I get more of, the more I use VPN. But so far the main two issues that I have are not effected by after de installing / re installing, restarted things, de activating / re activating things.

Brief Update on my XP OpenVPN issue and the new device, TheDocIsHere@xp
As I mentioned in my last Email, I had made a new device, TheDocIsHere@xp , and used it briefly and solely for OpenVPN on a single XP operating system machine . As I further mentioned in my last Email, I could do
nothing with that device, since on attempting a connection I got an infinite repeating pop up asking me to confirm the password.
As I was expecting, that problem sorted itself out: a few days later a connection attempt was successful and I note that for that attempt I never once was asked to confirm the password. Also the connection lead to a working internet. It worked for a few hours before the connection disconnected itself. ( I have found that all VPN connection occasionally
disconnect themselves. How often that happens varies randomly and greatly, - it can be anything from a few hours to a few days ) . After the disconnection, any attempt at a re connection appeared to be successful, but I had the usual internet fail due to the time out problem.
A few days later I got a single one off successful internet after a connection again. This then worked for approximately 24 hrs. Then after a de connection, the usual problem came up again: a re connection appeared to be successful, but I had the usual internet fail due to the time out.
So the problem remains with XP that a connection leads to a successful internet approximately once every two days with SoftEther / hide.me on XP.
Attempts to disconnect / reconnect more often than that seem successful, but internet does not work
