fax services locking up system

During a boot the system would lock up when it loads
fxssvc.exe. I set fax services to manual start and the
system will boot up. When I turn on the fax services the
system locks up again. I have tried removing fax and
reinstalling without positive results.

Sounds like a driver conflict.
Is your analog fax modem on the Windows XP HCL list?
