Re: fax cant find address book

Yes I installed a bigger hard drive and let the software copy the entire
contents from the old to the new drive. For the most part this worked fine
but I should have done it in Safe Mode as a few things didnt make the
transition probably because they were in use at the time. The only thing I
ended up having to re-install was Office 2003. Now what problem do you find
unintelligible? The telephony service one? Under Services is one called
Telephony. It must be enabled before your fax modem will work. When the Send
a fax and Receive a fax tabs remain ghosted in fax console thats the first
place to look for a reason. I will occasionally find that disabled and have
to enable it which makes the options unghost in the fax console. I suspect
that MSs monthly download of its bad program scan turns it off. There are so
few people using fax anymore that I cant find any information on this
matter. As for the system restore problem that really doesnt come under the
title of this newsgroup so unless requested I wont elaborate further. I hope
this has been made more intelligible to you. thank you for your time.

You're the one who said you just changed to a new hard drive which means
you just re-installed everything, right? Hardly fits with your claim that
you "never changed anything." The description of your other problem is
equally unintelligible.

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.

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.
