How do you activate the fax component in XP?

[Guest White Horse]

I have the Home Edition, my system will not allow mt to activate the fax

component. It keeps asking for a file name: fxscfgwz.dll but my system

locater can not find it, I suppose because it is a dll file? Any way all I

want to do is activate the fax component in XP Can some one help me??

Thanks,

Jim

It would be on the XP install disk.

 

Occasionally Windows setup will not "see" a file that exists, and you need

to manually select if when you are given the option to browse for thew file.

Check the Control Panel/Add Remove Programs/Add Remove Windows Components

and see if the Fax Services box is checked. If not, check it, click Next

and follow the onscreen instructions.

Unfortunately "cable modems" aren't real modems as far as connecting to

phonelines are concerned. No phone line modem, no fax.

Hi Bob,

I have telephone service thru my cable company, works just like any land

line does so that should not be an issue IF I ever get Windows XP fax

component activated. I bought the PC from Gateway and they installed "part"

of Windows XP and never sent me the XP CD and that is my hang up. When I get

a CD I can insert when prompted it should work.
