I have seen several issues with Windows programs not releasing (or perhaps not being able to releaase) the serial ports after using them. Once one of these programs accesses the serial port, no other programs can use it until you re-boot. I'm fighting windoze Hypertrm right now over this issue trying to read from a freq counter for some ADEV measurements. Once HYPERTRM runs, no other program can access the serial port.

Lady Heather seems to work fine with Wine, but I have not tried it after running HYPERTRM.

Whilst I suspect the problem is more likely to be Wine as multiple programs show the issue, you could try the PuTTY terminal program instead of the rather old HyperTerm:

May be better, may not.
