7 Windows fax and scan-error message "incoming call cannot be answered as a fax call.

Hey Joe,

You must ensure that your computer (or your external fax modem) is connected to an analog phone line, and that the phone line has a dial tone so that you can place and receive phone or fax calls.

Check the modem settings to see if send and receive options are turned on.

6 make sure that allow it the device to receive fax calls check box is selected, and then choose how to receive faxes:

  • My Lexmark printer stopped working and the error message says "printer cannot communicate with the computer" (from "twisted into the USB pins?).

    When my printer stopped working because of error messages about "printer cannot communicate with the computer" (from "twisted into the USB pins?), I tried to change to 2nd USB port without success. I tried a new cable; that did not help.

    Then I uninstalled and reinstalled my Lexmark printer and changed the error message. Now, the printer does not work because "the USB device is not recognized."

  • Fax and Scan Error - Message could not be sent. Media is write protected

    I have a PC with Windows Vista Ultimate on it.  Turns off user access control.  On the sign as Admin will have all the rights.

    Windows Fax and Scan works very well for a long time.  Had a modem comes to shove, he replaced everything works fine.

    In the last day or two - with no known changes to the system - the system is no longer send and receive faxes.

    It gives me an error-"message could not be sent.  the media is write protected. »

    This happens if I try to send a fax directly from the Windows fax software or if I try to "print" a document by fax.

    When you receive a fax - it gives a similar error.

    It works as records receive faxes are unalterable and, if I look at their properties in Explorer.  I try to uncheck Read-only and it acts like it works only when I get back - read-only is still selected.

    Other times I tried to make changes to access to the files by Windows Fax, fax settings - but it tells me that I have to be logged on as administrator to make these changes and I signed up as an administrator - the only Director on the PC.

    I also removed the Fax profile and recreated.  I think that the question is the property read-only on my directory of fax, but for some reason that seems locked on.

    I also shot the back, rebooted, turned off UAC back, rebooted and tried to change the settings of RO, no luck.

    Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you!

  • Windows XP starts, an error message appears. 'RUNDLL error loading C:\Windows\ihukuqej.dll'. The module specific cound not be found.

    Original title: Windows Rundll error on startup

    My laptop, Windows XP startup, an error message appears. RUNDLL error loading C:\Windows\ihukuqej.dll.  The module specific cound not be found.  I downloaded ParetoLogic PC Health, did a full scan on the registry and fixed all of them, rebooted and its still there.

    What is a rundll error?

    File rundll.exe are processes systems directly connected to your computer Windows registry. All of the Dll files are a part of the vast library that contains code and data that are shared by many programs. This allows to obtain the effectiveness of speed and memory of your operating system by reusing the same code or file to run many functions of various programs. An error occurs when the program are not allowed to access this code.

    Why do you Rundll errors?

    Windows uses rundll files to load programs, files, and applications. If the dll file is missing or damaged, any application using this file cannot be loaded. This will produce a rundll error. The reason why the file has disappeared is often related to a virus or spyware. This type of malware often tries to divert the files shared by the rundll file. Other sharing programs file then do not work effectively or to load any.

    STEP 1: IDENTIFY

    The first thing you need to do is to identify the process specific rundll. This isn't a difficult task; There is a library online extensive process in which you can assess the validity of the process that is running. When the error dialog box opens, it displays the name of the process. For example, if the dialog box appears and tells you the dll error:

    STEP 2: STOP THE PROCESS

    Often, you can locate the Dll of enforcement in the services of the exe. You can open your services configuration by following the instructions below:
    1. open your Start menu.
    2. click on run
    3. in the command screen type:services.msc
    4. This will bring to the top of the window Management of the Services . If you drag the mouse to one of the services. It will give you a detailed explanation of the service in question. By right-clicking the individual service.
    5.stop the "dll" service immediately.

    NOTE: sometimes the dll process can not be stopped by this method.

    STEP 3: CHECK FOR AND REMOVE

    You need to open your Windows registry file system. It is an extremely delicate process. The registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Microsoft > Windows > CurrentVersion > RUN

    This action will help you speed up the considerable load time of your applications. Here's how:

    1. click on Start
    2. click on run
    3. type regedit
    4. find this registry key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Microsoft > Windows > CurrentVersion > RUN

    5. in the right section click on: "rusvdgpo" = "%System%undll32.exe % System%usvdgpo.dll, [RANDOM LETTERS].
    6. delete the value and reboot.

    SPECIAL REMARKS

    The Trojans are usually use this attack method to share a process that invites the other malware be more Trojan horses or other forms of spyware. The best defense is to keep your security up-to-date software and explain the process of rundll on your computer.

    ======================
