You can try to add the untested snippet below to your .emacs.

(defun synchronize-windows ()
   (save-selected-window
     (condition-case nil
	(let ((pos (window-point))
	      (sel (selected-window))
	      (buf (window-buffer (selected-window))))
	  (dolist (frame (frame-list))
	    (dolist (window (window-list frame))
	      (when (and (eq (window-buffer window) buf)
			 (not (eq window sel))
			 (/= (window-point window) pos))
		(set-window-point window pos)))))
       (error nil))))
