OpenVPN Failure to Connect

[Ninah]

I've started having this problem only recently after about 3 months of using OpenVPN without a problem. When I try to open any connection I get the following:

Wed Jan 07 17:27:23 2015 Warning: cannot open --log file: C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\log\vpnbook-us2-udp25000.log: Access is denied. (errno=5)

It then sits for there forever. What is happening?

Make sure you're running as administrator (either GUI or CMD).
