FAX Service hangs

After the installation of my modem-fax I noticed that fax service didn't work.
The reason was that FAX Service (faxsvc.exe) was not registered as a service in my installation (I have no idea why).
So I did it manually:
sc create Fax binpath= c:\winnt\system32\faxsvc.exe Displayname= "Fax Service"
Now it is among my services, but doesn't start: if I try to activate it manually, I get the "Error 1053: The service did not respond..." and If I set to "automatic" I find it blocked checking the status of services.

Any idea on what is happening and how to solve the problem?
 
I forgot to add that:
* i run Windows 2000 SP4 under an account with admin. privileges
* I don't know whether it can be important, but I uninstalled Outlook express
* the modem-fax works normally as a modem
* after installing manually faxsvc.exe I also edited the registry to insert the correct dependencies

Waiting for help!!
