Windows Forum / Windows XP / Printing and Faxing / January 2006Refuses to install the Fax service on winXP SP2
Have tried to set this up both via the Printers and Faxes screen and the Add/Remove Programms screen and in both it complains that it can not copy files from my winXP Home edition SP1 cd. Possibly because I have SP2, so I pointed it towards my "ServicePackFiles" directory in my Windows directory and still it brought up an erorr saying can not copy? When I look in the System32 directory there are alreay 24 fx.... named files in there including the ones it complained could not be copied. So when I ran the install fax again it did not complain about not copying files but I saw the fax icon appear in the Printers and Faxes window and then disapear when the installation was complete! Have included the log file for this here if anyone can make sense of this ??? www.mmcr.co.uk/FaxSetup.log Thanks in advance, as been tryign to send this fax for a week now!

SoI took the advice given on the list and ran this command in the Run window esentutl /p %windir%\security\database\secedit.sdb and restarted windows and then I could install the fax application! Though after sending a fax I tried to view it and it said I had nothing on my system to view a fax! Any idea how to point it towards the "Windows Picture and Fax Viewer" ??? > Most likely one of the issues here: > http://members.shaw.ca/bsanders/FAQFAX.htm#_Toc88835132 [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > > > > Kevin It's right there in the same FAQ: http://members.shaw.ca/bsanders/FAQFAX.htm#_Toc88835135 SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] > Yes It was a curupted security database as mentioned in this list.
