Ooo USBTerm my favourite subject ;)

"Cannot open terminal handle" is a wierd one, dunno why it happens some time. Disconnect your SPV from the cradle/usb, open Task Manager on PC, make sure wcescomm.exe is not running, kill USBTerm process, close the command prompt, reconnect the SPV and try again.

Oh, just realised you said

dos window opens saying "cannot open terminal handle" then closes immediately
your not trying to run USBTerm by Double-Clicking it are you? It needs to be run from a command prompt.

Good luck :)

Click on the Start Menu, go to Programs>Accessories, and click on Command Prompt.

You should get a DOS-like interface.

Know your way around DOS?

You shocked at having to use a command prompt or just asking what that means?

Asumming it's the latter and I'm not about to really insult you:

"Start->Run..." and type "cmd" (or sometimes "command", depending what version of Windows you are running).

You may also have a "Command Prompt" option somewhere in your windows menu.

You'll be given a DOS prompt. Type in the program name (usbterm?) and hit return. You might have to type the full path if windows can't find it: C:windowsprogram filesusbterm.exe

Welcome back to the 80s...
