Your experience sounds similar to mine.  In my case, sometimes
Synapse would work if I double-clicked the button.  I had
no interest in using the 1132B as a general controller so didn't
spend any time in trying to troubleshoot the software.

I use an X10 CM11A as my general controller with software running
under the Linux OS.  I am unfamiliar with Windows software for the
1132B.
