This is good info. I suggest the OP tries using SyncTERM v.1.1 like I'm on... it isn't the nightly build/super current one, rather the last STABLE release. I wonder if thats where the issue lays.

OP, what version are you on? Its listed on the top line of the SyncTERM window.... and I suggest trying 1.1...
