Unable to install Fax Services

Hello,

I 've tried to use Fax Services, without success.
Fax Services was installed, but did not work, so I dé-installed these
Services (via Software > Windows "Components") and restarted the computer.
Then I installed the Fax Services again - no errors. But when I try to open
the Fax Console, it takes a lot of time before the console opens. Then all
boxes are empty (of course).
When I try to send a Word-document as a fax-document by the new fax-printer,
Word hangs. Or I get a message (in Dutch) "faxserver cannot obtain data -
the wizard fax will close now".
I tried to find a solution for this problem at
http://members.shaw.ca/bsanders/FAQFAX.htm#_Toc88835142,
but did not find one, which I could relate to my problem.
What to do ?

Thank you very much,
Regards, Willem
 
That is precisely the solution you should use. Explain what happened when
you tried.

Thank you, dear Russ,

My problem has been solved. The indicated link pointed to Q/A 12 ("Why do my
fax transmissions fail so often ?"), where I could read: "... fax service
will dial or will answer ...".
Well, my fax-service didn't want to do anything at all, so I found this
answer unusuable.
Now I 've read the answer again and again, which made me check the Windows
HCL. Where I couldn't find my "Conexant HDaudio soft data fax modem" on the
list. However, in Device Manager the driver was "Digitally Signed by Ms
Windows Hardware Compatibility Publisher". So now I understand, this is
something else as the "Hardware Compatibility List" (! ?).
At any case, I didn't trust the driver anymore, so I déinstalled FaxServices
and déinstalled the modemdriver. Then I downloaded a Generic Modem-driver
from Conexant's site and installed the modem and FaxServices again. I
bypassed the warning ("not compatible for Windows ...").
Now Fax Services do function fine !

Regards, Willem
 
Odd. That's not the entry to which that link takes me. Entry number 2 is the
one that most closely matches your error message, which is where that link
takes me.

Not odd, maybe a small mistake.
Entry FAQFAX.htm#_Toc88835142 really points to answer number 12 (twelve).
Look at the source-code:
------
<a href="#_Toc88835142">12.<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times
New Roman";color:windowtext;
text-decoration:none'> </span>Why do my Fax transmissions fail so
often?<span
style='color:windowtext;display:none;text-decoration:none'>. </span></a>
------
I suppose you intended to point to <a href="#_Toc88835132">2, ...>, so 132
was changed into 142 ;-)
However, I had no troubles with fxsapi.dll and/or fxcfgwz.dll: the
installation-proces generated no errors.

Nevermind: my faxservices do work now. Maybe it 's because of the
re-installation of the modem-driver.
Maybe it had something to do with Netmeeting ? The new
driver-installation-program installed Netmeeting too.
Does Netmeeting has something to do with Fax Services ? I was thinking, it
is for Telephony.

No, not that one either. Your error message is the one most people get with
this problem:
