I haven't used the fax wizard. I always invoke a fax in the same manner as I
do an email. When a contact is highlighted in outlook, I invoke a new message
to contact and click on "To:" to select the contacts fax number from the
"Select Names" window which displays the outlook address book "contacts".
This is where contacts fax numbers use to appear but don't anymore.

All fax numbers have always appeared and worked with this methood until
recently.

All contact records checked appear correct and as they always have appeared.
No fax number or any other fields appear different.

Now that is truly inexplicable and inconsistent with how the Outlook Address
Book works.
Please recheck your findings.
State whether these fax numbers ever appeared and whether you are now
referring to the Outlook Address Book or the Address Book you invoke from
the Fax Wizard.
Open a Contact Record whose fax number is failing to appear and verify that
the Contact has a valid, resolved fax number in a fax field.

Contacts: Personal Folders is the only one listed.

Fax numbers are missing only for those contacts who have email addresses.
If
a contact has a fax number and no email then the fax number displays.

But I still need you to check how the Outlook Address Book appears, not
the
Contacts Folder.
I have a hunch your Outlook Address Book got corrupted with all these
crashes and system restores.
When you examine
Tools E-mail accounts View or change existing directories or address
books Outlook Address Book Change.
how many Contact Folders do you see there?
Are all fax numbers missing from the address book in XP fax, or only
some?

The computer seems to have slowed down a bit over the last several
months
since I added a 2nd flat screen monitor on my dual monitor video card.
Sometimes the sysmem or some programs have become unresponsive, which
may
be
caused in part by simultaneously running too many programs. During the
previous week I had 2 hardware/software installations fail; Power Chute
for
my UPS, and the driver for an Adaptec Fire wire card. I abandoned both
installations, removed the hardware, and restored the computer system
to
it's
previous state.

My default contact manager is outlook xp.

Yes the Business Fax and/or Home Fax numbers appear normal in the
Contact
window of all contacts reviewed.

State the changes you made just before "suddenly."
State the program that is the default Contacts Manager for your
operating
system.
State whether your fax recipients appear as they should in your
Outlook
Address Book.

Outlook XP has suddenly stopped displaying all contacts fax numbers
in
the
"select names" window when attempting to "send new message" to a
contacts
fax
number via the fax console.

I have tried updating windows xp & office; I ran detect and repair
and
found
nothing; I ran a scan for malicious software but found none; I have
confirmed
that the "Fax Mail Transport" account seems to be present and
properly
configured; I have checked the "Fax Printer Configuration"
properties
which
seem to be ok; and I repaired MS office xp installation... all to no
avail.

Any ideas would be appreciated.
