Missing File: 'fxscfgwz.dll'

[Doxstevo]

I'm running Win. XP on eMachines T1221. After a viral infection I had use my refresh discs to restore my system. I just finished reloading all my software and downloading updates. Now I discovered I can't set up my fax. The error message: The file 'fxscfgw
z.dll' on Windows XP Home Edition CD-ROM is needed. Can I download this file somewhere? If I use my refresh discs I will have to start all over again. Thankyou!

When the installation routine is unable to find the necessary installation
files (even when directed to the appropriate i386 Folder) it usually means
that the installation files are compressed. This is often the case when the
files are pre-copied by a manufacturer on the hard drive. If you do a search
for the files that the installation routine claims are missing (fxsapi.dll
and fxcfgwz.dll) you won't find them, but you will find fxsapi.dl_ and
fxcfgwz.dl_ (note than an Underscore character replaces the last letter in
the filename). These are compressed DLL files and will need to be
decompressed. Double click on them and you will get a prompt for the file to
use to open them. Click on BROWSE. and select Win32 Cabinet Self-Extractor,
which is in the system folder. With any luck it will uncompress them all and
make them visible as DLL files. The install routine still may not find these
files. If so, then you must manually direct the installation routine to the
i386 folder that contains these extracted files.

Thankyou very much! I found the missing .dll files in the i386 folder in the .dl_ state. I then found the Win32 Cabinet Self-Extractor in the system32 folder. However, when I tried to open the .dl_ files with the Win32 Cabinet Self-Extractor I received the
message: "a required resource cannot be located". I, also, get this message when I double click on the Win32 Cabinet Self-Extractor file. Any way of solving this dilemma? Thankyou!
