Can't re-install fax service in XP

[Guest]

The XP fax service has been working fine until recently when it would hang
when trying to print to the fax printer. I tried uninstalling using Windows
Components Wizard and then re-installing. The re-install goes through the
motions and says that it was successful, however the Fax Services in Windows
Components Wizard is still unticked and no fax printer is installed.

The re-install does not give any error messages or seek files from a CD. I
am running Windows XP Pro, with SP2.

If you require any specific log files than can you please provide me the
path and filename so that I can find them

Hi Russ,

Thanks for the information, I tried the steps outlined in KB Article 278316
but this didn't work. As a result of folowing these steps I still have a file
called C:\WINDOWS\security\Database\secedit.old

The error message that appears in the file
C:\Windows\Security\logs\scecomp.log is as follows:

04/18/2006 20:42:04 Error=2 Update Service
Fax
Security=DA;;LCRP;;;WD)(A;;CCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRRC;;;SY)(A;;CCDCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRSDRCWDWO;;;BA)(A;;CCLCSWLOCRRC;;;AU)(A;;CCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRRC;;;PU)

I don't know how to access the hotfix? Have I followed your instructions or
have I missed something?

You must call Microsoft to obtain hotfixes.

Hi Russ,

I contacted Microsoft, unfortunately the Hot Fix was not appropriate for my
issue. They took me through a number of different things including registry
changes, repair processes etc. None of them worked.

I thought I would get back to you with what did work. Norton Internet
Security/Antivirus 2006 needed to be disabled before running the Microsoft
components wizard.

For the most part all Norton Product disable Windows XP Fax in one way or
another.

I have the exact same problem as Evan, and I get the exact same error
message:

05/10/2006 05:15:25 Error=2 Update Service
Fax
Security=DA;;LCRP;;;WD)(A;;CCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRRC;;;SY)(A;;CCDCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRSDRCWDWO;;;BA)(A;;CCLCSWLOCRRC;;;AU)(A;;CCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRRC;;;PU)


The only problem is, that I use Kasperky antivirus, and uninstalling it
has done nothing to solve the problem.

Both Kaspersky & Norton use the iStreams "rootkit" which makes
modifications or creates additional "data streams" for files in the NT
file system.

http://tinyurl.com/llzp5

Could this be the source of the problem. Is the windows component
installer detecting these modifications & interpreting them as
security violations?

I tried uinstalling Kaspersky, which is supposed to remove the iStreams
data from the files (takes a long time). The problem is still not fixed
(I still get the same error when trying to install Fax Services). But
I've seen at least one thread indicating that Kaspersky may not do a
good job of cleaning out all of the iStreams information.

Anyhow, don't know how this fits in. I've contactd Kaspersky about my
problem to see if they have anything to say about it.

Anyone have any suggestions otherwise?
