I have used the Windows Fax service in the past with no problem, but tried to
send one yesterday and it failed. Specifically, the fax never made it into
the fax console "outbox" and the modem (near as I can tell) didn't try to
dial the number. The send wizard sees my modem and the job appears in the fax
print queue, but processing stops at that point. I checked the services
status and all the "dependent" services are started. I tried manually
starting the fax service. It started, but almost immediately stopped. The
window telling me it stopped says some services do that if they have no
action to perform, but that doesn't appear to apply here (i.e., a job was in
the fax print queue). I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Fax Windows
component, but the same problem occurred.
The "sent" folder in the fax console says I last sent a fax over a year ago,
so I can't identify a specific change that might have caused this.
Windows XP Home Edition version 2002 SP3 is installed as my operating system
and I use AVG, AdAware, and Spybot for virus and spyware control. Any
suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
