The hotfix listed in the first article may resolve the issue also, however,
I've not yet seen any posts that say it does.
This all REQUIRES a standart analog fax modem connected to a regular
telephone line. With DSL, you have two options:
1. You obtain a DSL line filter suitable for connecting a standard voice
telephone to the DSL line, then connect your analog fax modem to the line
through the line filter; you cannot use your DSL "modem" because it isn't a
modem, its a Network Interface Device. Your DSL provider has these filters,
as does your local Radio Shack store:

2. You hire an Internet E-faxing service:

With any other form of broadband, only options #2 is available

Hi, I'm having the same problem. i'm prompted for files that need to be
copied from my Windows XP CD. i have the Windows XP recovery disk that came
with my PC when I bought it new, but I have the idea that as it's a recovery
disk it would be unwise to run it again. (deletion of current Windows Xp
operating system)
My PC has a built-in modem, and I'm using Broadband through a SpeedTouch
ADSL Modem. Am I having no dial -tone because faxes can't be run through
broadband connections and also I don't have the built-in modem connected to
the phone line.
The fax software (mightyFax) detects the built-in modem?
I have also installed Service Pack 2, and a complete mcAfee Security Suite.
Any Ideas please?

tried redirecting to servicepack\i386 but I'm still being asked for files. I
don't have the XP CD either as XP was already on my PC when I got it.

If you have applied a Service Pack, these files may have been moved to a
different folder (ServicePackFiles\i386), and you will need to direct the
routine to that folder.

When I try to add fax as a windows component in the control panel, I get
a
prompt for windows xp professional service pack 2 CD-ROM or i386 folder.
Service Pack 2 is installed on my pc, I've done a search for the i386
folder
and found it in windows\driver cache but what do I do from there? I keep
having to abort the installation process.
Can anyone help??!!
