Solution: Weird, but it worked.
Win7 INSISTS on installing in Program Files (x86) and really doesn't seem to care where I wanted to install it.
As administrator, I installed it and TOLD it to install in Program Files. It didn't. BUT stay with me. Then I copied (Not cut) the AICS Research folder from Program Files (x86) to Program Files.
And it WORKS!
I think Microsoft needs some things in the (x86) folder, while QCTerm needs them in Regular program files.
I'm not going to spend the time sorting out which needs to go where for a few Kb of drive space on a 1Tb drive.

(Wait until you see what I'm going to do with the system it's replacing :-)

If you purge the config file it should create a new one to default.
Did you install with Admin rights?

Nope, it doesn't. Stays white on white. Which is why I think it's either missing fonts, or not letting me change the config file.

(At least you can disregard white-on-white by process of elimination.)
