Problems With XP Fax
I have a strange problem with XP Fax Services. I am using a Dell XPS410 with
XP MCE SP2 with all security and Hot Fixes up to date. I can successfully install Fax Services, configure and use it. I can send Faxes with no problems. I can send Faxes from MS Word. However, after re-booting the computer for the first time after the install certain Processes will hang for several minutes before functioning. Things like IE 6 and Add/Remove Windows Components will just sit there doing nothing. Process Explorer shows no activity except for System Idle Process. When what ever is hanging is finished you see changes in the Processes in Process Explorer and everything is then normal. I looked at the Event Viewer logs and there are several Error and Warning events listed. I tried fiddling with the Fax Services configuration but this doesn't make a difference. I tried disabling Trend Micro I.S. Any ideas? Rich |

Problems With XP Fax
I may ahve solved the problem. There was a lurking Brother (Long gone
Brother Laser printer) Print Spool Driver being called for in Services and the Intel Quick Resume had something to do with it also. "Rich" wrote in message ...

Problems With XP Fax
Do let us know if you come up with an actual XP Fax issue. As I said before,
this is not likely to be an XP Fax issue since it has never been reported so far. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Rich" wrote in message news I may ahve solved the problem.

Problems With XP Fax
The problem only occured with the instal of XP Fax and was sort of print
related. If you dig into Window Services and look at the Dependencies for Fax you find that one of the items listed is Print Spooler. The presence of the lurking Brother Spooler was causing the problem because the Brother spooler.exe file no longer existed and the system was doing its time out thing looking for it as well as the active HP one. I hadn't tried Fax services since uninstalling/removing a Brother HL-1440 and installing an HP LJ 1020. Brother has a separate Uninstall program on their website for removing hidden print driver files that aren't removed by their Uninstall through Control Panel or their software. Seems similar to Symantec with Applications to remove lingering traces of Norton Antivirus and Internet Security. Thank you again for the advice.

Problems With XP Fax
Fax Services always rely on a print spooler. That's why I asked you to
examine Event Viewer straight away so you could find conflicts in that arena. Glad you did. Glad you found it. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Rich" wrote in message ...

If the lights are on when you power the printer on you have a paper jam, check the door at the very back of the printer (many people don't know it is there), open it and look for a piece of paper there. Check under the cartridge and make sure paper is not stuck half way out of the tray. If they only come on when you try to print then either 1. There is no paper in the printer. 2. The paper is not being picked up, probably a worn feed roller. A mission to change on these printers but you can try to clean it with warm water (damp cloth only with power turned off).
