cli connections work, but problem with windows gui client

Hi All,
New user. I have the server setup and the client connections appear to be working. I can connect from Windows 7 using the command line (cmd) as administrator to connect using openvpn.exe. Once connected I can ping the openvpn server, and I also have ssh to the servers behind it.

... however, using the cli is not ideal for users, so from here I attempted to setup the GUI client, which is where I ran into problems. When I connect using the GUI Open VPN utility using the same client config I get an error. The error that is displayed almost immediately after hitting connect is:

OpenVPNClient start client_vpn_txt_p9490: process started and then immediately exited: []

The contents of the log are:

Thu May 10 11:34:05 2012 Note: option http-proxy-fallback ignored because no TCP-based connection profiles are defined
Options error: If you use one of --cert or --key, you must use them both
Use --help for more information.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
