Re: Fax service starts then dies

i know the "uninstall and reinstall" technique is a bit outdated but it
seems that you may have a DLL hell case in hands to which this technique
applies very well.

I would sugest uninstalling the fax service (using Add/Remove progrmas in
the control panel), and then manually deleting the file that is listed as
faulty (fxstiff.dll) if it still exists.

reboot the server and reinstall the fax service.

I looked for the dependencies of this file and under windows xp it only
depends on windows core files so it seems that you may have an incorrect
version for the file. Probably some program you installed or some problem
during service pack installation.

I've started having problems recently with the fax services on Windows
Server
2003. The service had been running fine form me for over a year. Now it
can
hardly run for 30 minutes without crashing and restarting only to crash
again.

My application event log has the following errors reported:

Faulting application fxssvc.exe, version 5.2.2581.0, faulting module
fxstiff.dll, version 5.2.2581.0, fault address 0x00059fd9.


The Fax Service encountered a problem and needed to close.
Error Code: 0x00000000
This error code indicates the cause of the error.
A Windows Error Report was generated with full details about the problem.
The Fax service will restart now.


I am at a complete loss as to what could be causing these errors. I've
tried
clearing the fax que and even replaced fax modems but the problem keeps
returning. Please help.

Thanks,


.
