TinyTERM closes after a connection error

Question :

I set up my connection, but I get a connection error when TinyTERM starts. When I click "OK" on the error message, TinyTERM closes, so I can't change the settings. How can I fix that?

Answer :

This happens when TinyTERM is set to close automatically on disconnect. A connection error is handled like a disconnect event, so that's why TinyTERM closes in this case.

To fix the problem, use Notepad to edit the .tpx file you're using with TinyTERM. Search for the line:

closedisc=1

Change the 1 to a 0 (zero):

closedisc=0

Save the changes and exit Notepad. The next time you start TinyTERM, you'll still get the connection error. However, TinyTERM won't close, so you can fix the connection settings.
