Default Re: Unable to install fax service in Windows XP

Hello all,

I think I have found why my Fax console was not working

http://www.pcbanter.net/archive/index.php/t-218856.html
I finally discovered the problem.

In Phone & Modem Options, the default location (in my
experience) has always been "New Location", and didn't
need to be changed, so I never worried about it. In my
Phone & Modem Options, for some reason, the location was
blank, and this prevented the software from using the
modem. All I needed to do was select "New Location".

That's why I have decided to re-install Fax services

Have changed New Location to a number and try to reinstall FAX and still
nothing (
