What are TERATERM.INI Error Messages?


General TERATERM.INI Runtime Errors

TERATERM.INI file errors often occur during the startup phase of Tera Term, but can also occur while the program is running. These types INI errors are also known as “runtime errors” because they occur while Tera Term is running. Here are some of the most common TERATERM.INI runtime errors:

Most INI errors are due to missing or corrupt files. Your TERATERM.INI file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Tera Term), or deleted by a malware infection.

CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying TERATERM.INI to your appropriate Windows system directory. TeraTerm Project typically does not release Tera Term INI files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer.

An incorrectly installed INI file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
