  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.

  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.

• Windows Fax and Scan "Sender Name" empty (Windows Server 2008 Standard)

  Hi all

  I am using Windows Server 2008 Standard (32-bit) with a RocketModem III card.  I have the latest drivers for the RocketModem.

  Using Windows Fax and Scan, I can send and receive faxes fine.  The only problem is when I see the fax, the name of the sender is blank.  I am trying to display the telephone number that someone sends me the fax to.

  I had thought it might also be under CSID, but everything I have complete options because it puts there.  I guess that means I want the CSID show for all those who sent faxes to me.

  It might be worth noting that I have active CallerID and you have a real fax machine that shows the incoming number very well.

  Does anyone have an idea where I could go wrong here?  Thanks in advance for the help!

  This issue is beyond the scope of this site and must be placed on Technet or MSDN

• Has anyone seen a fax USB modem that works with Windows Fax and Scan?

  So far I'm 0 for 2.  PC Fax modems seem to be a lost art.  A few months ago, I tried a USB fax modem and tested the receipt of the fax.  The modem answers the phone, the fax sender starts the transmission and... nothing happens.  Eventually, the sender times out with an error.   Same computer, same Windows Fax and Scan software, with an old modem connected to a serial port, all works well.  Modem manufacturer was not able to help.

  And now the same problem with another PC, the modem is different, different situation.  This time I don't have an easy fallback to a serial port.

  And that leads to my question - no matter that matter where in fact seen a fax-modem USB in the field send and receive faxes using Windows Fax and Scan on Windows 7, and if yes, what was the make and model?

  Thank you

  -Greg Scott

  Hello Greg,.

  Thanks for the quick response.

  You can view the reviews of the product in the manufacturer's Web site and see if that helps.

  Also for the Windows Fax and Scan, when your PC or computer would be equipped with a fax modem (or connected to a fax server), it can send and receive documents such as a standalone device. Windows Fax and Scan even includes a handy tool for the design of custom cover pages.

  Also refer to:

• Problem with Windows Fax and Scan does not connect to the Internal Modem

  Just got a new Acer Aspire 5542-5416 computer laptop with Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium, 4 GB of Ram and a 320 GB hard drive. It has a 56 k modem integrated fax of like the old days, but I can't make it work. The laptop did not come with the Windows CD.

  If I open the program Windows Fax and Scan, it is not able to connect to the modem. Basically, if I click on tools > fax accounts > Add..., I get a box with 2 choices: to connect to a fax modem or connect to a fax on my network server. When I want to connect a fax modem I get a message that says: an error has occurred. Please, try the operation again later or contact your administrator. It allows me to do this then just clock OK and them I'm right where I started.

  While in Windows Fax and Scan, if I click on tools > fax settings... nothing happens. No menu settings or anything ever appears. Quite simply, the program does nothing. If I try tools > Fax Status Monitor... I get a box that says entrance exam status, ready to receive a fax. It has a blue progress bar as something takes over, but it gets about 1/100 to and never goes further or ends. There is no box, but there are 3 buttons: view details, answer call or cancel. If I hit details, I get an empty list. If I click on answer call I get an error that says that the fax service is not available.

  If I try tools > Options, general tab has only a single option box is checked: play a sound when come it to new messages. If I try to print a Word or PDF file to a fax using Fax in the printer list, I get the same box with 2 choices: to connect to a fax modem or connect to a fax on my network server, but I get the same error message: an error has occurred. Please, try the operation again later or contact your administrator.

  I've searched the Internet high and low for a solution but no luck. There is a lot of discussion about this problem, but none of the solutions work for me. If I go to Device Manager, the modem is working properly and if I click on the Modem query on the Diagnostics tab, it seems to be able to communicate with the modem very well. I tried to roll back the driver and updated again and still no luck, same problem. If I go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Fax\Accounts in the registry, there is no subkeys under the folder accounts I can delete.

  Has anyone else had a similar problem? Is there any solution for this? I did a Windows Update last night and has not yet solve it. Thank you.

  Sorry about that.

• Windows Fax and Scan/Event Viewer

  I have 2 issues that I believe are interdependent.

  I am running W7 x 64 edition family and until recently and scanning worked perfectly but suddenly stopped. Now the application does not show my internal Modem (soft) or my external Fax Modem - that are displayed in the device (with no problems) Manager. The App said No accounts set up, and when I try to accounts 'Add', nor the modem show and if I try to ' add by using a name, I just get a statement of error message "the mentioned fax server is not available"... telling me to try again later."

  When I first set up fax and scan, I just plugged my Modem Fax (new) and when I went to add accounts - the two Modems showed. I simply took the external Modem and everything worked fine - now none of the Modems are recognized.

  I tried the remedy of re-fax service under control panel of configuration/administration/services etc... is indifferent.

  I looked at a lot of positions since 2007 and this seems to be the problem well documented and a pending problem resulting from an update of Windows, but it is unclear which.

  Of all the posts I've seen, it's a well known error / well documented that has not already been corrected.

  At the same time, my event viewer does not work - when I try to open it, a message simply says "Service not available event log. Verify that the service is running.

  I try to run the service and "starts and stops"... In any case, among the thousands of posts on this topic and also I tried remedies including remove/rename the Windows/system32/LogFiles/WMi/RtBackup

  I think remember me one saying the 2 problems are interrelated. Any ideas?

  Hi Gerry,

  No, I have already gone through Device Manager and no device No. Bad shown.

  Yes, I used fax and scan before several times on my x 64 system and it worked fine until recently.

  HOWEVER, "good news".

  I found a site called http://tools.sysprogs.org/srvman/ SYS PROGS

  The site has a small standalone application called srvman that I downloaded and it allowed me to launch the event log / event viewer / Fax - which none could start the Services on the right menu by clicking on the selection and selection automatic (or manual) and then start. Each of them would start and then stop.

  In any case, they began with this app and then Windows Fax and Scan App and still no joy.

  I then went to "Turn Windows features on or off" and of selected Fax and Scan and printer Opps, then re-selected them (I had tried this method a few times before without success)...

  Restarted the computer and the events/event log viewer / fax and scan works very well... (only thing was Fax and Scan doesn't seem to see my external Fax Modem (soft) modem internal but recognized and 'Fax account' remained together upwards, so all good to go.)

  Thanks for your help... your directions encouraged me to keep plodding on this issue frustrating and eventually got somewhere - but by "Good luck" more than my own 'good management' :-)

• Windows Fax and Scan does not appear in the start menu

  : I'm using Windows Vista Home Premium and you want to (a) send faxes via a modem local fax and b scan docs from a local scanner. I mean, there should be a program Windows fax and scan shown in the start menu. I clicked all programs on the start menu, and it doesn't always show. Suggestions?

  From: Hal

  Fax and scan is available in Windows Vista Business and Ultimate editions, it is not available in any of the Windows Vista Home editions.  Since you have a version of Windows Vista Edition family, the only option of fax is a third-party product.  These products work under Windows Vista:

  Snappy Fax

  VentaFax

  I have seen reports that the free version of BVRP also works with Windows Vista:

  http://www.usr.com/BVRP/bvrp.asp

  BVRP PhoneTools

  Given the above comes with the new USR modem, I don't know if it will work with no - USR modems.  Alternatively, you can send faxes via your Internet connection provided you are willing to pay for an Internet E - Fax service:
