Abstract: We consider compactifications of the heterotic string on $K3imesT2$ so that the resulting theory in $d=4$ space-time dimensions has $N=2$ supersymmetry. The gravitational and gauge coupling constants of the low-energy effective theory receive threshold corrections from loops of super-heavy string states. We calculate these corrections for the case when the $K3$-surface is a $$ orbifold of a four torus $T4$. The results are used to determine the one-loop prepotential ${calF}_0^{(1)}$ for the vector multiplets and the gravitational coupling ${calF}_1^{(1)}$.
