You'll need to post all the details of the installation problem you're
having including the relevant portion of faxsetup.log where the failure
occurs.

Default Re: Unable to install fax service in Windows XP

Hi Russ,
i will preprare them for you.
I have to say i have the same problems on two different machine with
different modem on.
One of this is a Sony Vaio. The other is a fixed one.
I am a MCP and i try to install fax service on different pcs with the same
results.
Every pcs have win xp sp2 on.
I think this prob could be related to some update.....
Ciao

Default Re: Unable to install fax service in Windows XP

Hello all,

I have been trying to solve my problem and have only found that easy way
is to do clean install of XP as one I have is OEM Dell and that is
where probably the problem is as per:

http://forums.wugnet.com/Services-ftopict443040.html

But my problem is that I did not get any WinXP CD when I have purchased
my LatitudeD810 from dell.co.uk (

Where can I get one, do I have to purchase brand new WinXP CD, or if I
provide MS with my CD Key they will send my new one?

Thank you.

M2

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 (

Default Re: Unable to install fax service in Windows XP - it is working :))

Hi Marcel!!! Thank you very much.
My problem was little more complicated because i couldn't set a new area
code in my Dialing rules.
It was due to a wrong value in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Telephony\
"CountryListVersion"=dword:00000xxx
I am sure i never deinstall any sp or fix and, becouse i had the same
problems on two different machines, i suppose was a fix to create this
mistake.
I putted the value of the key to 0 and then reboot the system.
Win xp has putted the right value and after this i was able to set a correct
area code.
After this, the fax service was installed without any probs.
Thank you again!! I waste a lot of time to try to understand the cause. I am
very surprised by the poorness of the debug log.
Bye for now.
David Tanzer
