i;ve tried so many things, im first time vpn user so im not sure what to do, i tried reading the howto but couldnt find solution..

all the provider told me to do in readme was extract files to the config folder.. but i keep getting this msg

first of all, please upgrade to the official openvpn 2.2.0 release.
Second, which client OS are you using? if it's windows vista/7 (32bit or 64bit) then the files may have ended up in the wrong location (this is a Windows "feature", not something OpenVPN did)

Finally, what happens if you brosse to
c:\program files\openvpn\config
and open the romania.crt file using a text editor (e.g. notepad). Does the file look something like

<lots of text>
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
....
-----END CERTIFICATE-----

(the BEGIN+END parts are the significant parts)

that's a network connectivity or firewall issue - is openvpn really running on that port on that IP? is there a firewall on the server blocking access?
