I finally got SP3 to work and it seems fine but the tech I was
chatting with had me take out Winfax 10.02u before installing SP3.
No matter what I do I cannot get it to install and run properly now,
even after cleaning the registry and the win.ini files and running the
program from Symantec that cleans out all left overs from the Winfax
removal. There is no mention of it on the Symantec site either.

I saw no reference to this problem on the Microsoft TechNet.

Has anyone encountered this problem? It was fine before the install of
SP3

Thank you

Joe

That was bad advice. There was no reason to uninstall WinFax 10.02. No
problems before SP3 or after SP3.

Not sure how to recommend re-installing. How is the installation failing?
