No joy at finding any obvious mistakes, but at least we know deleting Registry settings can fix it and exporting the setting before doing so may point to the problem if it happens again. The best I can think is it got confused and moved the window off the screen, so it was there but not visible.
I'll admit I get the occasional BSOD under 98SE using comms ( in VXD VCOMM, and particularly after attempting to open an already open port ) so I'm not convinced VB / MSCOMM32 / 98SE is that perfect, but I don't think that's the problem here.
Anyway, new version released ( <A href='http://homepage.ntlworld.com/the.happy.hippy/picaxe/aiterm.zip?2007-06-27' Target=_Blank>External Web Link</a> ) which has much better support for multiple instances and a few minor buggettes removed. Keep a renamed copy of the previous download in case I've added more bugs than removed
