He's asking for more detailed information such as any error messages you may
get, any event log entries that may be generated when an auto receive should
happen, anything else that may occur when an auto receive should happen.
It's also important to know if the modem you're using is listed in the
Windows XP Hardware Compatibility List:

Windows XP Hardware Compatibility
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/hcl/default.mspx

A good many Fax difficulties can be traced to the use of a modem that is NOT
on this list and to NOT using the very latest drivers for modems that are on
the list.

Actually I was asking for your installation history of which you gave only a
partial account. You mentioned "WinFax Pro" in your message. It is important
to know what other Fax programs you have or had installed. Even if you
uninstalled WinFax Pro, it will often leave commands written to your modem
that will create TAPI conflicts with other fax programs. Please give a
detailed account of your installation history.
