XP SP1

Trying by adding windows components, the install generates no problem, a
program item is created in the menu, but empty, also, no fax printer created.
And if i look at installed compnonets, the fax service is unmarked. Tried
several times, no anti virus active during install, no firewall. Wahts the
problem?

No, im afraid not, gave up on the matter and used another computer, still
bugs me though that i cant find any answer to it...
 
I did not recieve a windows xp disk when I purchase my computer. When I go to
the control panel and click on add windows components and click put a check
mark beside the fax it ask for a disk. Is there any way to download this
beings I don't have the xp disk?
 
Contact the manufacture and get the CD.

I was able to install the fax service. Below are the steps:

1) Rename the registry keys and files below to *.old (I deleted them)

2) Make sure Telephony and Printer Spooler services are running. and are set
to start automatically
3) Access Add/Remove Programs, Add/Remove Windows Components, uncheck 'Fax
Services' to uninstall it. (if fax services is checked)
4) Once it is uninstalled, access Add/Remove Programs to reinstall it.

If this does not work, look in the faxsetup.log file for any setup errors.
