A big problem is that the VI is not set up to keep reading the port. If you are using the Run Continuous button, that is incorrect. That button is not to be used except in rare cases. when you do that, each time you initialize and then close the port. Use a while loop around the read instead like the attached example. I also straightened out those wires. Neatness counts.
Having the termination character enabled may not be a problem. Since the other end is someone using Hyperterminal, each of those messages will be terminated.
