The problem I had was when running it, the default.vt is apparently used to
find a com try to check for its existence. The default.vt shipped with winqvt
is set for com port 1. My mouse is on com port 1, so it gave a message saying
"invalid com port". Clicking OK on the dialog box promptly gave me an
"Unrecoverable Application Error" and it terminated. I had to edit the
default.vt file and change the port from 1 to 2.
