Q91048: Transmission Retry Field Displays 100 Instead of 1000

SYMPTOMS
========

If you set the Transmission Retry field in the Connect dialog box to 996, 997,
998, or 999 and choose the OK button, the setting is rounded to 1000. Because
the Transmission Retry field is limited to three digits, the number 100 is
displayed. (To set the Transmission Retry field, choose the Printer icon from
the Control Panel window, select your printer, and choose the Connect button.)

To view the last zero in the number 1000, you must highlight the entire
Transmission Retry field with the mouse. The actual value (that is, 1000) is set
for the printer driver in the [windows] section of the WIN.INI file.

STATUS
======

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here as it
becomes available.
