Re: Dialer, TAPI3.DLL Cont'd

Found more info.

Unless you have a modem installed (dialup), you cannot use the phone to
dial-out. If you install a backup dialup modem in order computer, I believe
when Windows Hardware wizard install support drivers, you will also install
Telephony support (giving you Phone and Modems as well).

The modem will not be in conflict with Cable modem, Windows will see it as
just another device. However, you will need to set what Network Connection
to use as default.

Still working on this ... look for:

Routing and Remote Access

in Administrative Tools | Services.

By the way, is this out of the box system (Dell, Gateway, ...) or did you
install Windows XP?

Articles I have ben reading:

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/setup/learnmore/crawford_02october21.mspx
(see section on bottom about DSLs).
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;329441

What Fax software are you using ... the one that came with Windows XP?

You mentioned 38 identical errors ... do you know if you caused them by
trying to access things needing TAPI (e.g., Phone and Modems, Dialer.exe,
...)?

So far all the articles, I have read is that when you install Windows XP
and it doesn't detect a dialup modem, it doesn't seem to install the
telephony service (or blocks it).

By the way, had you ever modified any of the Services Startup options for
some services?

"Phone and Modem control panel cannot be opened. You may have a
problem starting telephony service."

No, I do not log an Event when I try to open "Phone and Modem Options."

However, I do have quite a few of these:
Event Type: Error
Event Source: Service Control Manager
Event Category: None
Event ID: 7003
Date: 6/1/2006
Time: 6:10:47 PM
User: N/A
Computer: DESKTOP2
Description:
The Remote Access Connection Manager service depends on the following
nonexistent service: Tapisrv

For more information, see Help and Support Center at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

I do not know why I have so many. I was out for two hours and logged
38 identicle errors.

Ran SpyBot and Norton. Nothing found.

Also is there anything in Event Viewer, when you try to open Phone and
Modem?

Larry, I just ran "sfc /scannow" with no help.

I cannot open Phone and Modem Options, either. (From the Control
Panel.)

Act!

When I called them about not being able to dial, they instructed
me
to
run Dialer from Start | Run.

When dailer failed ... end of troubleshooting for the Act!

Should have been more explicit.

What is your Contact Manager you are having a problem with? MS

Everything works that does not use Telephony.
My fax software works, because it just runs the modem
directly.

I never would have thought that Telephony was a Network
Adapter.

No, Telephony is not listed under Hardware | Device Manager |
Network
Adapters.

So, how do I add Telephony to my Network Adapter List?

It maybe that dialer.exe doesn't work because Telephony was
not
setup
...
because it is not needed on Cable Modem systems. Basically,
you
have
a
Always On network.

To see what is installed based on hardware:

1. Open Control Panel | System Properties \ Hardware | Device
Manager
2. Click on View and set Show Hidden Devices
3. Then check what is installed as far as Network Adapters

You should see whether or not Telephony is needed.

Does everything else work as pertaining to the network,
E-Mail,
Browser,
Instant Messenger, Media Players, ...?

Yes, I am Administrator.

I am on cable.

I have Fax software that works fine.

My contact manager does not work because it uses dialer.

Will have to think on this some more. May need to check
version
numbers.
Don't know why Telephony does not display in Services.
Your
CurrentControlSet shows that it should. Nothing
indicates
why it
is
not
there.

Your are logged in as an Admin user, correct?

When I run/start dialer.exe I get this error message;
"Failed
initializing a telephony service component (TAPI3.DLL).
System
registry
may be corrupted.

When I go to Control panel/Phone and Modem I get the
following
message;
"Phone and Modem services can not be opened. You may
have
a
problem
with your telephony services."

Another post for Windows 2000 suggested:
regsvr32 c:\WINDOWS\system32\tapi3.dll
tapi3.dll is in this directory.
Did not fix the problem.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
