Fax Install Fails on XP SP2
Hi, Dick.
Thanks for your note. With it, I have be able to install several services on 2 Toshiba PS-30 and 2 Toshiba A-70, not only Fax services but also Peer-to-Peer services on LAN and over the Internet. Besides, The MS article 884018 dated from December 23, 2004, is also very helpful. It said to ask first for a free hotfix from Microsoft, and it explains some security risks related to the use of the esentutl tool.

Problem was fixed when I reinstalled XP after a hard disk failure. Have seen the MS article that you quoted. Used other PC's to fax until I rebuilt Windows. Won't ever make use of an MS service that requires a credit card number for a free service. This is wrong. And unnecessary. Dick |

WOW! And so many people thought we were crazy. After almost a year, a
solution! Worked great for me. I have to say I was really bummed about this problem because I rely on faxing when I travel with my laptop. Kudos to the person who figured this out. And thanks, lobomarino, for calling it to our attention. keithman "lobomarino" wrote: Hi there, I have been struggling with this problem for several months, after trying to install Windows Fax services on a brandnew HP Compaq nc6000 with XP SP 2 preinstalled.
