I am trying to add windows xp fax components from the add
remove windows programs through control panel but I get
prompted for dll's for the same.
Is there a way I can download the fax components from
anywhere as my XP software is the four CD package of COMPAQ
 
No.
Windows XP Fax is not installed by default and must be installed from
Control Panel > Add/Remove Windows Components. First, it is necessary that
you have an analog fax modem compatible with Windows XP Fax (see the Windows
XP Hardware Compatibility List) and an analog phone line.

If your installation of Windows XP was from a CD, you will be prompted to
insert the CD and may need to browse to the i386 Folder so the installation
routine can find the necessary files. If your installation files are on the
hard drive, you may need to direct the routine to the i386 Folder there. If
you have applied SP1, these files may have been moved to a different folder
(ServicePackFiles\i386), and you will need to direct the routine to that
folder.

If your installation was performed by an OEM (original equipment
manufacturer), it will be the responsibility of the OEM to supply those
files. Unfortunately, the installation disks supplied by many OEM's do not
contain the necessary files and you will need to contact the OEM to obtain
them. The fax installation files are not available to download from
Microsoft.
