My sister is running Windows XP and her fax used to work well, now it seems
to be corrupt or something. When trying to send ,it says that the fax is
not reponding. What can we do to repair it . We do n ot have the XP disc. It
did not come with the pc Thanks for your help

Many vendors will create a repair directory on your harddrive enstead of
providing a separate XP disk. Look for a directory called: i386
Then go to: Start>Control Panel>lefthand side Add or Remove Windows
Components>FAX Services
Direct the add feature to the i386 directory. Good luck. :~)

Thanks a bunddle for your advise, I'll try it, but could you be more specific

there.

You may want to test by removing the fax hardware in safe mode then reboot
and it may correct the corrupt drivers.

Also, you can get the 6 mon. XP CD for $5

You DO need help! After you check the FAX Services block, do you see a
button below that named "Next"? Click it and follow the prompts. It will
ask you to insert your XP CD or another place (browse) where to find the files
on your harddrive if you do not have the XP CD.
In your case it should be i386 wherever you have it located. To locate it -
Click Start>Search>Files and Folders>type i386 and click Search
Should find several copies of it.
C:\Windows or C:\Windows\System32
Maybe under - C:\Windows\ServicePackFiles

You remove hardware AFTER powering the machine DOWN, not while in Safe
Mode.. if the OP removes fax software in any mode, and then reboots, the
only likely outcome is that the computer starts up without the benefit of
installed fax software..

If anyone is dumb enough to remove hardware with a PC running they deserve
to be shipped back to the British.
Remove in Safe Mode is remove hardware in system properties in device
manager.
