SYMPTOMS
You are unable to change the screen size, the screen font size, or the
colors for the Pre-Dial Terminal Screen and After Dial Terminal windows in
Dial-Up Networking.
CAUSE
The Pre-Dial Terminal Screen and After Dial Terminal windows are hard-coded
for their appearance, including the screen size, screen font size, and
colors.
RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, use one of the following methods:
- Use a logon script, if possible, for your Dial-Up Networking connection
so that the terminal window is not required. For more information, see
the Generic logon script, found in the Switch.inf file located in the
%SystemRoot%\System32\Ras directory.
- Temporarily change the display resolution to 640x480 (standard VGA) when
dialing any Dial-Up Networking connection that requires a Pre-Dial
Terminal Screen or an After Dial Terminal.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 4.0. We
are researching this problem and will post new information here in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
