SYMPTOMS

When you attempt to type characters in HyperTerminal, the characters may not be displayed on the screen. This behavior may occur even if the Echo Typed Characters Locally check box is selected in the connection's properties.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this behavior is not caused by a problem in Windows 98, but may be caused by design changes in Windows 98. For more information about resolving this issue, contact the program's manufacturer.
