Windows Xp Vs Winfax Pro 10.2 problem

[Mnr. H coetzer]

Okay -- i understand the fact that Windows Xp got a faxing utility build in,
but what i don't get is when i use it, i'm limited to only sendig one fax at
a time vs Winfax Pro 10's bulk faxing tool. When i send more then 5 faxes at
at time my DB4 (Payroll Software freezes up) and it is not our Db4 payroll
system. Please is there any one that can give me a reason for this.

Then if i install Winfax pro 10, my email stop responding, I've uninstalled
it due to endless problems with it.

XP fax was never designed to do bulk faxing, so more than 5 or 6 recipients
usually gives it grief. WinFax 10 is largely incompatible with Windows,
any/all versions, and is no longer being supported or improved. It also has
the nasty habit of screwing up XP fax to the point it no longer works,
leaving you with nothing at all. The last version of WinFax that actually
WORKED with Windows was 9.x. These Fax applications will work with both XP
and Vista:

WinFax Pro 10.0. works here on Windows XP SP3. I had a problem with the
macro in Excel and Word a while back but that has resolved itself. I
have to turn off automatic receive to run Barclays BusinessMaster Lite
but that's a couple of clicks. It's also just as easy to turn it back
on. I am using a dedicated phone line with a 56k Fax Modem.

Don't write WinFax Pro off yet. Vista or it's succesor will eventually
do that.
