fax configuration

Posted: 07-13-2003, 08:40 AM
Russ was very kind to respond to my previous request. I
followed his advice. It worked. But I encountered a new
problem. The file: fxcfgwz.dll is still missing in
action from my service pack disc 1 as a compressed or as
an uncompressed file. I searched my computer looking for
both the compressed and uncompressed files and they were
not there. I visually searched the i386 folder and did
not locate them either. The fax still wants that file to
load in order to configure. Any further ideas? Thanks.

I don't remember your problem or what you were doing to correct it. If you
have applied SP1, the installation files may have been moved to a different
folder on your hard drive (ServicePackFiles\i386), and you will need to
direct the routine to that folder.

Fax configuration
Posted: 02-08-2004, 06:56 PM
Is it possible to have xp or it's internal computer fax
program distinguish between in-coming phone or fax
transmissions ???
I have one phone line and would like to use it to also
receive fax transmissions automatically.
I have set the fax program to receive after 3 rings and
the ansewering machine to answer after 5 rings.
The fax picks up the incoming callphone call after 3
rings and shuts down.The call never reaches the answering
machine.
Is there any way to overcome this conflict ???

I understand that a self contained fax machine has the
capability to distinguish between both transmissions and
I would like that ability via my computer.
Thank you for any help you can provide.

No. Windows XP doesn't support Distinctive Ring. You'll have to ask your
telco if they offer such a service.

Windows XP does not support Distinctive Ring:

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=272943
Distinctive Ring Is Not Supported by Windows 2000 Fax

Some third party hardware devices can provide a work-around:

Having just reinstalled xp professional, I can't configure the fax service. I
tried going to device manager-Add windowns components and tried fax services,
but it doesnt work.
It worked before, so it indicates that the modem is ok and compatible.
PLEASE HELP.

Start here:

http://members.shaw.ca/bsanders/FAQFAX.htm#_Toc88835132
2. Why can't the XP Fax Installation Program find the Installation Files?

In this case, it sounds like the security data base is corrupted as
documented here:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/884018/EN-US/
You cannot add a Windows component in Windows XP

You can either:

1. Get the hotfix mentioned in the KB article and install it. Microsoft
usually waives any charges for support calls to get supported hotfixes
listed in Knowledge Base articles.

2. Try this procedure using the Esentutl.exe utility mentioned in the KB
article to recover from security database corruption:

http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/g...name=c00270202
HP and Compaq Notebook PCs: Unable to Install Windows XP Fax Software

Note that Microsoft does NOT recommend that you use the Esentutl.exe utility
and would prefer you try the hotfix.

Thank you, I can find one of the installation files, fxsapi.dll located in
C:\windows\system.32 but I can't find neither the file fxcfgwz.dll or
fxcfgwz.dl_
also when looking for folder i368, I found 3 folders. One of them in
C:\WINDOWS\driver cache which has got data in it and 2 others enpty folders
in C:WINDOWS\system32\reinstallbackups\0002\drivers files and
C:WINDOWS\system32\reinstallbackups\0004\drivers files.
I dont receive any error message, but I remember when I reinstalled windows
that a message came up saying that some files could not be found and some
applications might not work correctly. I have an OEM CD, so I think I am in
real trouble with it.
