Fax service marked for deletion

[Craig]

Strange problem on a XP Pro with service pack1. If i try to install the fax
component the wizard completes ok. A fax printer briefly appears in the prin
ter folder and then disappears. The fax service in service manager is stoppe
d and is marked for deletion. On reboot the service is gone and the fax comp
onent is shown as not installed.

I have done a repair instillation as well as installing SP1 again.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Are you using an analog fax modem that is on the Windows XP HCL list?
