Re: WinXP default fax software no longer works

You've tied a knot no one could possibly unravel in a newsgroup setting. The configuration changes you made that disabled Windows XP Fax in the first place must be known. After it "stopped working", exactly what XP Fax did and did not do including error messages must be known.
The introduction of another fax program probably complicates the issue beyond remedy. XP Fax is unlikely to work after another fax program using TAPI initializes the modem.

In the past, I have had some difficulties with the default fax software
including with WinXP. However, most of the time, after several tries, I
could successfully send and receive faxes using this software. Also, the
"fax monitor" used to always accurately reflect what was going on, even if
just to report that the transmission failed, whereas now, it no longer shows
information such as number dialed, page currently being received, etc., and
the overall status of "receiving fax" continues even after the fax has has
already failed and the call has been disconnected.

I downloaded a trial version of third-party fax software, and it appears to
be working fine [so far I have only tested receiving a fax, but it went
fine], so I think that my modem is fine. If anyone knows of a solution with
the default WinXP fax software, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,
Mike
