I created an HT file and saved it in the same folder as the exe. On my desktop I created a shortcut to "C:Program Files(x86)WindowsNTHypertrm.exe"
Where session is the name of the HT file and inside the quotes is the exact path to the exe.
I am using a Belkin F5U257 USB to Serial adapter. If you just click on the HT you get the error and no saved settings but if you run the exe with the name of the HT as an argument, it works. I am working on how to fix the HT registration so you can just click the session, but one thing at a time.

Thanks so much for the free advice. It's hard to find these days!

However, my only connection option when loaded onto Windows 7 was TCP/IP. I have an adaptor which I had hoped would allow me to use a USB port as a Com port. Will this not be available because of Win7?

I found on my Windows 7 64bit system this did not work. When I put both the EXE and the DLL in the C:Program FilesWindows NT directory it worked fine. But for some reason it did not want to find the DLL in the System32 directory.

Hi Team,

I just copied all the .dll and .exe. It is working with my Windows 7.

Normally when I was using XP, I used to access hyperterminal by typing 'hypertrm' in 'run' ,but in WINDOWS 7 I need to go to the folder where I kept Hyperterminal. Is There any work around for this…? Ur help would be appreciated.
