Problem with Windows XP FAX Services
I have a strange problem after installing WinXP FAX services. I am running
XP MCE SP2 on a Dell XPS410 with all security and hotfixes done. I use Trend Micro Internet Security 2007. After re-booting, the desktop comes up normally but I can't do anything for several minutes with a number of applications such as IE6 or Control Panel Add/Remove Programs. These hang for several minutes. Eventually they will run. Un-intstalling Fax Services cures the problem. The FAX service does work just fine once up and running. I have tried auto answer off and automatic. Having the phone line connected to the modem makes no difference. I didn't go into Outlook to configure anyhting there since I do not use Outlook. Process Explorer doesn't show any activity other System Idle Process during the hang. Once whatever is hanging is done then I see changes and additions to the Processes in Process Explorer. I looked at the Microsoft Knowledge Base, also Bruces Printing Pages and Slipstick.com but didn't see any comments about this problem. A Google search didn't come up with similar problems. Anybody have any ideas? Thank you Rich |
