Unable to set up account, get error in Windows Fax and Scan

I have Windows 7 Home Premium installed, update of Vista home Premium. I've never used the Windows Fax and Scan until today. When I went to set up a Fax account this error in popup:

An error has occurred. Try the operation again later or contact your administrator.

I am the only user & administrator of this PC.

I saw a post on the forum Vista, I tried but still have not been able to solve this problem. Help, please.

Hello

I tried the suggested method of deletion of registry keys, but it doesn't work on my laptop Win 7 Prof 32 bit with the built-in fax modem.

The fax service works only when I connect the the domain administrator account, even if I put my user account in domain with administrator rights. Before my network has been migrated to Win 2003 Server Win 2008 Server, the fax service worked very well for my domain user account, then the problem could be due to a setting in group policy by default under Win 2008 Server?

Looking forward to responses. Thank you.

Managed to solve today after I do a right-click on WFS, go into properties, Security tab, button "Advanced", then "Change permissions" for my special user for total control account. Open WFS again and click new fax to set up a new Fax account and all went well.

    If you open Windows Fax and Scan and click on tools and then click Fax accounts, there is an option to remove all the accounts listed.  After you have done this, you can configure a different account.

    You can try uncheck Windows Fax and Scan via Control Panel / programs and features / turn Windows Features on or off / printing and document Services / Windows Fax and Scan.  This allows to uninstall it.  You restart and then reverse steps to reinstall.

    I use a U.S. Robotics 56 K Fax Modem model 5686 G v.92 and when a fax is sent it tells me that the call has been answered as a fax call and then during treatment, I get "incoming call cannot be answered as a fax call.  I've been working on this for 3 days now and just can't seem to get this point.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    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.

    1. click the Windows Start button, click all programs and then click Windows Fax and Scan.

    2. to use the fax at the bottom of the left pane, click Fax.

    3. click on the Tools menu and then click fax settings. Need administrator permission if you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    4. click the general tab and then, under device name, make sure that the modem is selected.

    5. under send/receive options, make sure that allow it the device to send faxes check box is selected.

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

    * To answer phone calls as incoming fax calls manually by using Windows Fax and Scan, click on manually answer, and then click OK.

    * To have Windows automatically answer phone calls as incoming fax calls, click on answer automatically after X rings, select the number of rings after which Windows can try to answer phone calls as incoming fax calls, and then click OK.

    If someone else set up the computer to send and receive faxes, you might not have permission to use the built-in or external fax modem.

  • Windows 7: Windows Fax and Scan - can't get it to automatic backup to a network

    We use Windows Fax and Scan (Version 6.1 Build 7601: Service Pack 1)-this is the version included with our client for 32-bit Windows 7 Enterprise OS

    I just installed a scanner in a sleep laboratory, scanner works perfectly. There are several sleep technicians that will connect to a computer with the scanner (so short of several user profiles) and patient scan RXs.  Problem is that sleep manager wants the scans to record automatically in a central location for any technology connects in their analyses will record in the same place as everyone else.

    The key is the AUTOMATIC backup.

    This is so the news of background - at the heart of the question... it seems a feature that offers Windows Fax and Scan does not work.

    If you go in fax and scan, there is an option in the tools of-> Scan routing.  If you read on the functionality of its supposed to save AUTOMATICALLY in the network shown, its not to do so.

    So I check the box 'Save in the network folder' (don't know the exact wording)

    (I use xxx because I don't want to publicly share real location) \\xxx\xxxxx\xxxxx\Neuromuscular.

    This is 100% valid and share name of work - used for years many people save to it... Windows Fax and Scan says "sharing network not valid."

    If someone said just use \\server\share

    OK I create a folder on my computer, we'll call it Computer1 and name sharefolder. I share and give "everyone" access read/write... sharing is \\Computer1\Sharefolder.

    Plug in Windows Fax and Scan - it don't be complaint that it is a bad sharing more. So I think that a lot!

    I scan a test page - this isn't automatic registration to \\computer1\sharefolder.  I can come here, but that defeats the whole point of the analysis of routing.

    Sleep lab will be scanning hundreds of slips of Rx by day, management won't allow lost time by manual movement of the images to the save location.

    Any help is greatly appreciated. Got to be honest I'm a little irritated right now because I think its Microsoft as announced a feature in one of their applications is not working.

    Thank you

  • 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!

    Read-only for folders is normal (mine are).  See if this fix works for you:
