My office recently replaced my laptop with a newer one running Windows 10. I have since tried to install the latest version of OpenVPN. I also copied all my old configuration files from the first laptop onto the new one. I have a client.ovpn file, a ca,crt file, and a csr/key pair along with a ta.key file. Again, all these came from the old laptop. When I try to connect with openvpn now, this is what I get with the names changed to protect the innocent:

Mon Jun 20 09:42:11 2016 SIGTERM[hard,init_instance] received, process exiting
I don't see any errors in this logfile, but the client just loops over and over with the connection reset message. I've tried installing both the 64 bit version and the 32 bit version doing a complete removal between versions, but behavior of both is the same. Can anyone here explain why this keeps failing? I could figure this out if it was actually throwing an error message.
TIA,
John
