An effective potential is calculated for open and closed superstrings in the {ital M}{sub 4}{times}{ital T}{sub 6} background at nonzero temperature, where {ital M}{sub 4} is Minkowski space and {ital T}{sub 6} is a 6-dimensional torus. For fermions, along the fifth compactified dimension on the torus antiperiodic boundary conditions are chosen, and in all the remaining dimensions periodic boundary conditions are used. The effective potentisal is shown to be finite if the inverse temperature {beta}{gt}{beta}{sub {ital cr}}=(8{alpha}{prime}{pi}{sup 2}){sup 1/2} and the radius of the fifth dimension {ital R}{sub 5}{gt}(2{alpha}{prime}){sup 1/2}.
