Hey I'm going to uninstall this thing too. Ever since I
installed SP2 my Hewlett Packard psc 2210 won't receive
faxes, won't allow me to control the fax functions from
the desktop and won't scan. HP is of no help, but it
worked fine before SP2.

Damn I hate it when Microsoft makes us their science
project lab rats.
