Thank you, Morgana, I may ask you for copies of
the files it needs.....of which there will be
several, all starting with 'fx' and with .dll
extension. Do you have a website where you could
put files for me to download and install? /wbl/

Control Panel Add/Remove Programs Add/Remove Windows Components. Place

a


check next to Fax Services and click Next. You may be prompted for the
WinXP CD. If you run into problems, direct the wizard to the i386 folder

Sharon, I tried what you said, as I did last year at Rob's
direction. I just tried it with two different XP CDs.
It prompted, saying it needed file fxsevent.dll and
I browsed to i386 on the CD, and when I hit Enter, it
changed what was in my windows to \f\i386 or almost that,
but it never found the .dll file. Browsing on the CD I
find a zillion files starting ith fx .... and all with extension
.dl_ .....
Incidentally, I don't even have to go to Add/Remove etcetera.....
Just insertying the CD and waiting, its autorun starts it up
and gives me four choices, one of which is to Add Windows
Optional Components. That leads to the same impasse.
You and Rob are reminding me that I'm following the same
steps which didn't get that FAX installed last year. As a
scientist I'm curious as to why I follow the right steps
and get to where the 'uninstalled' .dl_ files are, and the
installer doesn't convert them to .dll files and install them.
I know I can buck it to the Microsoft insider Online Tech
support people, but I like to save that recourse for problems
that really *have* to be solved.

If you're going to go this route (which I'm not to sure will work), you
could expand the DL_ files from your CD.

Directions for how to Expand a file can be found in this article:

Sharon, I have done what you recommended earlier.....
I tried the Add/Remove route, and when it asks where the
files are, I insert the CD and tell it i386 just as
you did, and it doesn't find them. I suspect it's because
the XP Installation CD I borrowed has them as .dl_ files
and not .dll .... I don't understand why this should be.

So the two routes I have are to have the kind soul e-mail me
all of the files that are needed (of which I don't even have
a list), or convert the .dl_ files one at a time when they
are asked for, to .dll files, and put them somewhere, where
they can be found.

They are not on my OEM CD because that contains only a GHOST
image of what they supplied initially, and of course that included
no FAX stuff.

Most people aren't this persistent. Most people just give up in
disgust, as I did last year. One thing that isn't clear to me is why
Microsoft isn't willing to make the files available for download,
and another is why the 3 XP installation Cds all have .dl_ files
and yet yours appears to have .dll files.//Bill L.//
