on the CD. How do I install it? Thanks. Bill Lurie |

Bill,
Still working this? Why don't you just get a 3rd party FAX program ... Or standard Microsoft CD with XP. Hope this is useful to you. Let us know. rms William B. Lurie wrote: It didn't get installed on this PC. I believe it's on the CD. How do I install it? Thanks. Bill Lurie |

XP Pro FAX
Rob, I have SmithMicro HotFax. Like most, It
has its flaws. I have XP Pro CD. Thought I'd like to try Microsoft's FAX capability. I tried what was indicated in Microsoft Help & Support, namely, Add/RemoveAdd/Remove Windows Prog. FAX Services and it tells me to get some fxzzzzzz.dll programs from i386. I seem to recall (as I see you do) that that led to a dead end last year. Bill Rob Schneider wrote: Bill, Still working this?

XP Pro FAX
Since I have customers who seem to want to send me faxen (which I wish
they didn't) I'm going to go buy myself one of those special stand-alone fax machines. The kind that plug into the phone socket without any computer connections. I'm doing this to eliminate the hassle factor ... Hope this is useful to you. Let us know. rms William B. Lurie wrote: Rob, I have SmithMicro HotFax. Like most, It has its flaws. I have XP Pro CD.

I did this with my laptop, you use the add printer dialog + install CD. I'm
sure it's covered in the standard help files? The prog. is pretty average, luckily I only have to use it an absolute minimum. 3rd party software can't be any worse? Regards & best of luck "William B.

I have had one of those for 15 years, Rob,
and they work, but they're no substitute, really.

The OEM's packaging of XP was flawed.

Yes, I believe that, Rob, but they refused to go any further than
instruct me to do the Ghost Reinstall. I did yhat on another drive and still didn't get the FAX, so that's a dead end. It seems to me that Microsoft should provide a download of the FAX (like they did of Recovery Console) but I hate to bother them via the Online Tech Support option./wbl/ Rob Schneider wrote: The OEM's packaging of XP was flawed.

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.
