Brian,
Are you running Stunnel as a service or an app under Windows 7?
I'm unable to run it as a service without running into a host of user interface issues. However, it runs terrifically as an app for me.
I did a search to see if I could find any information on why the service has issues. I didn't find all that much, but I did stumble upon the following comment about services in general, which I found interesting:
"They run in an entirely different console starting with Vista. As a result of running in a different console, services cannot interact with the desktop. So essentially there is no direct UI support. You typically have to code a sibling UI application that does run as a normal program and uses some mechanism (named pipes for example) to communicate with the service."
Regards,
Thomas

I should note that I have been running stunnel 4.45 on Windows 7 since Oct-2011 with no problems whatsoever. It has been running non-stop on Windows 7 to this date with no problems. I have not upgraded to the latest because I have not been able to have time to test the FIPS changes with my configuration yet.
