I too has a problem at first. It looks (at start up, after the graphic comes up)
in the default.vt file for the com port to use, it then attempts to initialize
it. Well, the default as supplied is port 1, if you are using other than port 1,
you must manually edit this file. There is a line near the top
port=1
change it to your actual com port number (probably 2).
For me, it manifested itself as an unrecoverable application error, but didn't
crash windows.
