Article: Q255794
Product(s): Microsoft Windows NT
Version(s): winnt:4.0,4.0 SP5
Operating System(s): 
Keyword(s): kbtool kbWinNT400PreSP7Fix

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Windows NT Server versions 4.0, 4.0 SP5 
- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation versions 4.0, 4.0 SP5 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

The international calls calling card dialog box was changed after Service Pack 4
to allow you to type information in individual steps instead of a single long
string. This organizes the string for users, but limits the number of steps you
can use when dialing international calls. This may cause a problem completing
international calls using calling cards.

RESOLUTION
==========

A supported fix is now available from Microsoft, but it is only intended to
correct the problem described in this article and should be applied only to
systems experiencing this specific problem. This fix may receive additional
testing at a later time, to further ensure product quality. Therefore, if you
are not severely affected by this problem, Microsoft recommends that you wait
for the next Windows NT 4.0 service pack that contains this fix.

To resolve this problem immediately, contact Microsoft Product Support Services
to obtain the fix. For a complete list of Microsoft Product Support Services
phone numbers and information about support costs, please go to the following

NOTE: In special cases, charges that are normally incurred for support calls may
be canceled, if a Microsoft Support Professional determines that a specific
update will resolve your problem. Normal support costs will apply to additional
support questions and issues that do not qualify for the specific update in
question.
