STM32 USART1 Send String Problem

Guten Tag,

Ich bin seit Tagen am versuchen über den USART1 des STM32F107 ein "HELLO 
WORLD" zu senden doch im Terminal kommt immer nur das erste Zeichen an, 
ein "H" sonst nichts. Weiß irgendwer woran das liegen könnte? Mir würde 
wirklich ein Stein vom Herzen fallen wenn ich erfahren würde woran es 
liegt, habe schon alles mögliche probiert... Hier mal mein Quelltext:

#include "stm32f10x.h"
#include "stm32f10x_gpio.h"
#include "stm32f10x_rcc.h"
#include "stm32f10x_flash.h"
#include "stm32f10x_usart.h"
#include "misc.h"
