Had the same problem as BOB (26/1) in that I tried to add fax services after
installing XPProSP2 but the setup program claimed to be unable to find files
that seemed to be there.
Somehow this problem went away after I installed some optional updates.
But it still ain't working. I selected Printers and Faxes and then set up
faxing on the left of the screen. This causes a promising flurry of activity
for a few seconds. What happens after this varies. Sometimes the option on
the left changes to something like install a local fax. When you select
that, nothing happens.
Lately, after the flurry of activity, the screen actually shows an installed
fax. But it's a ghost! If you try to perform any action with it it gives an
error message that begins "operation could not be completed. either your
printer name has been typed incorrectly ..." Word (XPPro) won't recognise it.
When I return to printers and faxes, the fax is no longer there and I am
given the option of setting up a fax again!
Either I or my computer have gone bananas!
