Re: fax cant find address book

I didnt know you could set the default address book as I had never needed
to. I never changed it to Outlook as it has been on here for ages and never
interefered with the windows address book that fax brought up. Nevertheless
I changed it and now its where its supposed to be. Now if I could figure out
what occasionally turns off the telephony service rendering fax inoperable.
Its no trouble to turn it back on but its a nuisance. That happened even
before I moved everything to this new larger drive. The only other gripe is
I lost the System Restore and it sees the old drive as still the system
drive and I cant seem to change it.
Thanks for the fax fix.

Surely you have identified your problem by now. How can you say "Outlook
doesn't matter?"
Windows XP Fax uses whatever address book you have identified as the
default for your operating system. Clearly, you have identified the wrong
address book. If you installed Outlook, it becomes the default address
book service for your operating system. It has no way of knowing you are
not using it until you tell it.
Set correctly the Contact List manager you intend to use in Control Panel
> Internet Options > Programs.

XP pro sp2
The fax software is windows fax console
Outlook version in 2003 even though Im going through the windows fax
console so outlook doesnt even matter; I only use Outlook for the
calendar.
Dont know what a Contact List manager even is. Where the Send a Fax has
the Address Book to pick numbers from it brings up an empty box with no
numbers and no choice of address books to choose from, its an empty
choice box.

You provided no information.
State Fax software.
State Outlook version.
State default Contact List manager for operating system.

I moved to a bigger drive and now my fax console cant find the address
book. I have to enter the fax numbers manually to send a fax. The
address book is there and all the info is still in it but fax doesnt see
it now. I even uninstalled and reinstalled the fax service to no avail.
Gotta be something in the registry but I cant find it.
