• Can not install Fax Services

  Hello everyone. I hope you can help out me.

  I have Win XP Pro SP3 and have tried to install the fax service option that comes with it. It will install, but then I can't send a fax OR even to see the preview of the fax I send. Yes, I have a modem and it is connected to the phone line. I even had one of my friends, who is a technician, try to install this. He uninstalled and reinstalled and did something else too) and still... It will install, but I can't send a fax or even to see the preview. Can someone help me with this?

• Fax Home XP: installation process SP3 iso downloaded on CD, but still not installed, recognized by the fax service

  Try to install the fax component in XP home. However, when the installation program asks for the location of the SP3 CD-ROM (as it seems a fxs file * folder i386) will not accept the ISO burned I (on disc L) which is functional because I used to install the service pack, even if the machine is regularly updated. I noticed the i386 folder and included the extracted files in the process (for my D drive), but all are deleted once SP3 ends or ends after the extraction of the file. Before SP3 installed, file asked for when the browse option to locate the SP3 CD window was fxsapi, now it asks fxscfgwz. It is not in my drive C or D. Fax has been so would we in the 80s and 90s!

• HP Fax Service back.

  I know many people who get an all-in-one printer with fax functionality, but don't quite know the world they can fax to test.  Well fear not.  HP has a tool that allows you to test your fax connection.  It's called the HP rear Fax Service, and it is simple to use.  Once you have your fax configuration, just send a fax of a page, black and white at 1-888-473-2963.  If the fax has been received successfully, you will receive a fax automatically.  If the return fax prints without having to tell it to print, then all is right installation.  If the fax does not print automatically or you will never have a fax in the back, then something might be wrong with the Setup program, or telephone lines.  In very rare cases, the Fax back Service is unavailable.

  I hope this helps.

• How to: use the HP Test Fax Service

  Did you know that HP has a test fax service in which you can test sending and receiving a fax. This is particularly useful if you have a problem sending or receiving. Alternatively, you can isolate the issue is on your end or the other end. If you can successfully send a fax and receive an everything using the Test Service of fax HP, this means that your fax is working properly. If you're still sending or receiving from other chances to fax numbers that the problem is on their end.

• Cannot install the Windows Fax Service

  I used to have a FAX in Control Panel > printers and Faxes screen, but I no longer. I went to control panel > Add/Remove programs/add Windows components and some Fax Services. The installation process starts and a Fax icon appears on the screen with my other printers. Until the installation finished, however, this fax icon disappears.

  I check start > all programs > Accessories > communications > Fax but the menu drop-down should be, he's not here, and the box says just (blank).

  I recently installed a new Canon printer that has the ability to "Fax From a Computer" that allows me to send faxes directly from a document using the modem in the PC. I think the only action of the Canon printer is made that a fax has been sent.

  After I installed the Canon printer I got a Canon Fax icon both Windows Fax icon, but I had a problem of phone and none of them worked. I have fixed the problem of telephony and the works of Canon Fax function in the computer, but I get the problem described above, when you try to install the Windows Fax.

  Is there something that prevents the addition of a second Windows fax service?

  How to go beyond this issue and allow multi-touch Fax from Windows?

  We consider that you have Windows XP with service pack 3 installed some variety.  If this is not correct, explain what version of Windows you have.

  What was the 'problem of telephony' and what did you do to fix?

  Open the Services applet (start > run > services.msc > OK) and make sure that each of the following is running and has shown startup type

  Fax (auto start)
  Print spooler (Autostart)
  Telephony (manual start)

• My components fax service windows will not let me add it, it says insert the xp disc I don't no one.

  I'm trying to set up my fax machine!  My windows fax component service won't let me add says insert xp disc which I did not and said look these files H:\WXHOEM\i386. Please help me

  Since we don't know anything about your system, I'll give you some instructions which will work for XP Service Pack 3.

  To install the fax of XP with no CD Service, download the version of Service Pack 3 to XPFax.zip since my SkyDrive and extract/unzip the file in a folder on your desktop or somewhere on your system to a folder name, you can remember (there are 35 files in zip archive).

  During the installation of the XP Fax Services and it asks you your installation CD, change the location of the file to point to the folder where the 35 files on your system.  Whenever the installation asks you for a file on your CD, change the location to look in the folder XPFax, until the installation is complete.

  Restart and test.

  Here's how to get the file XPFax.zip from my SkyDrive:

  I downloaded a copy of XP Pro SP3 files you need on my SkyDrive (everyone has a SkyDrive for file sharing).

  Here is the link to my SkyDrive and you can get the file you need here:

  http://CID-6a7e789cab1d6f39.SkyDrive.live.com/redir.aspx?RESID=6A7E789CAB1D6F39! 311

  When you see the files available for download, you will not see the file extension (.exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys, .zip etc), but when download you them they will have the right extension (most of the time).

  When you download the file (especially if you use Internet Explorer), when you get a chance to save the file, it cannot save the file with an extension (such as .exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys, .zip, etc) then you will need to manually add the extension appropriate to the file when you download the file before you save it.

  You can download the file without the extension, and then rename the file to add the appropriate extension.  You don't want to use a file called XPFax when the name of the file should really be called XPFax.zip (if the downloaded file has no extension you will need to change the name of the file to add the appropriate extension to run).

• I try to activate the Fax Service. He keeps asking me: a CD with 'Windows Professional Service Pack 3 '.

  I try to activate the Fax Service. He keeps asking me: a CD with 'Windows Professional Service Pack 3 '. Of course, I don't have such a CD. When I try Microsoft doewnloading they tell me this service pack is 64-bit, but my computer is running 32-bit. Anyone has an idea how to get around this and activate my fax service?

  Thank you
  original title: activate the Fax Service.

  XP is expensive now, or maybe you can get a legal CD of a person. You won't have to reinstall you can move the license to your computer, and then install the fax from the CD. You will have also the CD incase never reinstall you or need something else of it.

• Fax Services component missing

  I try it to add Services of Fax to my computer, but when I go to ' Add/Remove Windows Components' the 'Fax Services' component is not in the list?

  The list is long of "Accessories and utility" to the "Indexing Service".

  I am running Windows XP Pro SP3!

  Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

  I'm really in the water over my head here, but go to C:\Windows\inf and find sysoc.inf.

  Open it with Notepad and see if it contains the following line about 4 or 5 lines down in the [Components] section:

  Fax = fxsocm.dll, FaxOcmSetupProc, fxsocm.inf, 7

  fxsocm.inf (also in C:\Windows\inf) clearly has something to do with the installation of the Fax components, but I don't know if simply right click on the file and selecting 'Install' will actually do the trick or if something else is needed.

• The Windows fax service cannot start because there is no such thing as a privilege in the fax service account.

  I'm trying to set up Windows Fax and Scan to store faxes "received" in a folder encrypted (EFS). (I use Windows Vista Business).

  The fax service will not start if it set to log on as a "local system account", but faxes are stored with the certificate of local system and inaccessible to other users.

  To work around this problem, I tried to configure the Fax Service to log on under a specific user account. However, after that and try to re - start the Service I get.

  Error: 1297 as a service privilege is needed to function properly does not exist in the service account configuration.

  One of the services that begins with the "local system account" does not automatically start with a normal user account and if you get the message.  Most of the services are designed to start with the local system account and not a special user account (actually, not on my system using a specific user account for services).  I think that part is OK and you must return it to the local system account (so eliminate the error message and remove that as a problem to solve).

  I think the question may also be a permissions problem in the user access to the fax.

  To view your permissions, right-click on the file/folder, click Properties, and check the Security tab.  Check the permissions you have by clicking on your user name (or group of users).  Here are the types of permissions, you may have: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-are-permissions.  You must be an administrator or owner to change the permissions (and sometimes, being an administrator or even an owner is not sufficient - there are ways to block access (even if a smart administrator knows these ways and can move them - but usually should not because they did not have access, usually for a very good reason).)  Here's how to change the permissions of folder under Vista: http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-vista/set-file-folder-permissions-vista/.  To add take and the issuance of right of permissions and ownership in the right click menu (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/05/21/take-and-grant-full-control-permissions-and-ownership-in-windows-7-or-vista-right-click-menu/.

  To resolve this problem with folders, appropriating the files or the drive (as an administrator) and give you all the rights.  Right-click on the folder/drive, click Properties, click the Security tab and click on advanced and then click the owner tab.  Click on edit, and then click the name of the person you want to give to the property (you may need to add if it is not there--or maybe yourself). If you want that it applies to subfolders and files in this folder/drive, then check the box to replace the owner of subcontainers and objects, and click OK.  Back and now there is a new owner for files and folders/player who can change the required permissions.  You can change now switched to read-only (even if the main folder indicates that they are always read-only - you can access yourself as the owner).  You can keep them in read-only to other users, customers and administrators even (although they can support themselves and access, if they wish, and it is really not that you can do to stop it except protect the file with a password by using a 3rd party product.)  Here is more information on the ownership of a file or a folder: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67717-take-ownership-file.html.  To add take ownership in the menu of the right click (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-menu-in-vista/.

  If that is indeed a problem of certificates (and it seems there is a but looks like he takes care of himself with the Wizard), then we must make the certificate available to all users of the system (from where it is now stored) - and I think I saw how to do this in secpol.msc.  Here is some information I found on EFS secpol.msc in the public key policies (you can get it by entering this in the area of research and the antering and then a double click on the program icon that appears) where you would put in place.

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  The Encrypting File System (EFS) is an encryption technology of base file used to store the encrypted files on NTFS file system volumes. Encrypted files cannot be used unless the user has access to the keys needed to decrypt the information.

  Encryption is transparent to the user that encrypted the file. This means that you don't have to manually decrypt the encrypted file before that you can use. You can open and edit the file as you normally would. Once you encrypt a file or folder, you work with the encrypted file, or a folder like you do with any other file or folder.

  The use of EFS is similar to using permissions on files and folders. Both methods can be used to restrict access to the data. However, an attacker who gets physical access unauthorized to your encrypted files or folders will be prevented from reading. If the intruder tries to open or copy your encrypted file or folder, he or she receives an access denied message. Permissions on files and folders do not protect against unauthorized physical attacks.

  You encrypt or decrypt a folder or file by setting the property of encryption for files and folders, as you define another attribute such as read-only, compressed, or hidden. If you encrypt a folder, all files and subfolders created in the encrypted folder are automatically encrypted. It is recommended that you encrypt at the folder level.

  You can also encrypt or decrypt a file or folder using the Cipher command.

  When you work with encrypted files and folders, keep in mind the following information:

  • Only the files and folders on NTFS volumes can be encrypted. However, you can use Web distributed authoring and versioning (WebDAV), which also works with NTFS, to transfer files in encrypted form.
  • Files or compressed files can also be encrypted. If the user marks a file or folder for encryption, that file or folder will be uncompressed.
  • Encrypted files are decrypted if you copy or move the file to a volume that is not an NTFS volume.
  • Moving files unencrypted in an encrypted folder will automatically cause these files to be encrypted in the new folder. However, the reverse will not automatically decrypt files. The files must be explicitly decrypted.
  • Files marked with the system attribute cannot be encrypted, nor can files in the system root directory structure.
  • Encrypt a file or a folder does not protect against the removal or the list of files or directories. Anyone with the appropriate permissions can delete or list encrypted folders or files. For this reason, the use of EFS in combination with NTFS permissions is recommended.
  • You can encrypt or decrypt files and files located on a remote computer that has been enabled for remote encryption, but, in this version of Windows, the data that is transmitted over the network by this process is not encrypted. Other protocols, such as Secure Socket Layer/Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS) or Internet Protocol security (IPsec) must be used to encrypt data while they are transmitted over the network. (You can also use WebDAV, as described in the first bullet, to pass the file in encrypted form.)

  EFS policy settings

  You can use Group Policy to configure a number of EFS settings.

  Allow or disallow the EFS

  You can choose to allow or prohibit the use of EFS altogether. If you do not configure the policy settings for EFS, it is OK.

  The EFS options

  If you choose to allow EFS, you can also select a number of options, such as whether to automatically encrypt the Documents folder of the user, to require a smart card for use with EFS, to cache keys created based on a smart card, to enable the encryption of the Windows page file, or to notify users to make the backup copies of their encryption keys.

  EFS certificate

  EFS encryption is based on the pairs of keys associated with certificates. In most managed environments, the certificates are issued by a certification authority (CA) running in the field. Users can automatically be issued a certificate from the CA without manual intervention. EFS settings include a drop-down models of certificates that are available in the field list so that you can specify which certificate template to use for autoenrollment.

  Note
  	The list includes all the models of certificates, present in the field. An administrator must configure the CA so that certificates can be issued. Some displayed certificates are not available.

  In cases where a certificate cannot be issued by a certification authority, EFS can use a self-signed certificate created on the local computer (there is a section in secpol.msc to create a certificate). You can choose to disable this functionality and specify a default key length.

  I don't know if that helped or not.  Please let us know and be specific about what other questions, you may have because I don't know what you mean and which is still confusing (and to be honest, I am a little confused at this point - it is not an easy task to accomplish).

  I hope this helps.

• Having trouble getting the Fax Service to save faxes in encrypted EFS of the user.

  I configured the widows fax service to save faxes received in encrypted in the user folder. So that the files are saved, probably, with the certificate of the user, I configured the Fax Service to log on as a specific user.

  However, after the change is made and try to start the Fax Service I receive,

  "Error 1279: a privilege that the service needs to operate properly does not exist in the service account configuration."

  Watch the event log: event ID 7000, qualifier 49152.

  One can tell me what privileges are required by the Fax Service, and how to add them to the user account. (I made the account to an administrator account and still get the above error.)

  Also, if anyone knows another way to achieve the same goal, would be much too.

  Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
