Win2000 and Symantec Winfax Pro v10.0

[Jim Balmer]

I have been trying to load winfax pro on my computer,
however, it will not load because it tells me that there
is another fax program loaded.

After searching the symantec website I find that I need to
remove the Microsoft Fax service from Win 2000. Does
anybody know how this can be done, or is there something
else that I need to do?

Regards

Jim

Too bad you bought that. What Symantec does not tell you is that
WinFax Pro does not work anymore over an Internet.
WinFax Pro utilizes port 135 which every ISP now blocks/filters at the
request of Microsoft's request to Homeland Security in our government.

I know it does not answer your question, however, once you have it
installed, it will be impossible now to use over Internet. However, as
a local fax machine, it works great. But so do plenty of freebie softwares
too.

On Win2K, there is no way to uninstall Fax. Maybe you want to stop and
disable the Fax Service (via the Service Control Manager MMC)

You could also use -
net stop fax
from the command window.
