STill Unable To Fax Out With XP
Oct 12, 2007
I use a motorola SB5100 cable modem And computer came with connexant 56K DATA/FAx modem.I have Windows XP, I conect to the internet thru cable modem, Normally I just run a phone line from my computer to my land line and fax ward documents with out any problems. Usually the fax console/moniter pops up to show the progress of my faxes being sent . Not only do my faxws not go out but the console/moniter does not pop up either. When I go to fax console and then outbox my fax attempts are there with red circle with x in it .
Upon opening properties of a outbox fax the extended status reads "fatal Error" , along with JOB ID: 0x0201080a30b2a429, Broadcast ID:0x2001080a30b2a1b8. Not that this means anything but I figure I 'll give as much information as possible.I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling. I have checked to make sure all dependencies are started in services also. I ran diagnosis on modem and copied the log from conexant modems dagnoisis tab. I went to Device manager , right clicked 56k data/fax modem to properties, then went to driver details tab and copied driver files

I'm sure I am overlooking something obvious, but numerous recent problems with my system seem to be (hopefully) tied to the same source.I just don't know what it is.I am running windows XP home, service pack one (I have recently reverted back from SP2 thinking it may be the cause of the problems)
1) Any and all telnet type programs refusing to connect to any host (telnet, zmud, gmud, etc) In the case of zmud I can observe that my computer is in no way interfacing with another machine. telnet error is 'unable to contact host machine'
2) Windows media player (version 10) is unable to retrieve album info. Instead I immediately get a standard IE 'page cannot be displayed' screen.
3) Unable to register for many programs such as Gracenote. In the case of gracenote I recieve a 'socket open failed' error message.I am not currently running any firewall.
I only hae a 56k internet connection, so the instantaneous negative connection responses many of my programs display make it fairly obvious that this is a problem with my machine. I hope it is some silly xp setting I need to change.

I have a friend who has a pentium 2 350 which is currently running on Windows 98SE...yikes!My friend has been complaining that their computer has been running slow and that pop ups are appearing everywhere. I told them that it sounds like their computer has been hijacked and that I would recommend that they format their computer and start from fresh.I want to format their computer and install a newer windows OS (perhaps windows xp) and install a couple of spyware/antivirus programs.

OS is Windows XP. The computer is 6 years old & have never had problems. Recently I'm unable to access internet Explorer. The white page appears and the "connecting" message...and there it stays. Also, I'm unable to download .net versions 2.0 through 3.5, which appears to prevent me from downloading other programs. One tech tried to assist me remotely & ultimately suggested

I have been trying to clear my friends severely infected pc from numerous viruses.I managed to remove many but whilst following certain instructions I may have removed a registry key (or the virus removed it for me) but unfortunately system restore is not enabled.When I attempt to log on the pc immediately logs me off again.I have tried in safe mode and last known that worked but as system restore is off neither proved fruitful.I have used the installed recovery console to try the following -I have read web pages about replacing the wsaupdater file with the userinit file but this did not work.I have attempted to copy files from the repair section of windows but these where not found for some reason.

I ran Spybot S&D and deleted a few items from the Run directory in the registry, and now I can't logon.I'm running WinXP Home, and when the computer starts I get the main menu with the user names. If I click on any name, including the Administrator, I get the 'loading your preferences' message, but then it immediately shows the 'saving your settings' message and the user is logged off. I can't even get on to try to fix the problem.

I used to be able to run MSCONFIG and now I can't. I've tried the Start/Run thing several times. I've downloaded an XP version, and copied it to the WindowsSystem folder and tried it from there too, but I can't even get that to run.

I have loaded the CD and have gone through the instructions just like others have suggested, however, the process will not allow me to delete the partition because it says it, "contains temp files that are required to complete installation". This is not allowing me to remove the partition, so I can reload XP and start from scratch. The partition obligates my whole hard drive, so I am unable to add a new partition. Additionally, I tried to format C: using the repair menu and DOS prompt without success

I'm currently running WinXP Pro (Build 2600) -- upgraded from Win 2000, and am unable to select different compatibility modes for programmes. It used to be that I could set it by right-clicking on the .exe of the programme I wanted to run under a different Win OS (Win 9x, NT etc.) and just click on the 'Compatibility' tab. That tab is no longer there.I also tried running the Compatibility Wizard (Start>All Programs>Accessories), but when that loads the buttons that should say 'Back', 'Next' and 'Exit' have no text on them. If I click the button that should say 'Exit' then the Wizard closes. However, clicking on either of the other two buttons does nothing so I am unable to go through the wizard.It's been several months since this happened, but I never really thought about it until recently because it wasn't until now that I wanted to put an old game on my system; but make no mistake, it's not just the game that won't do it, I can't set the compatibility for any program I have installed, or would want to install. System Restore doesn't go back far enough to try that, so I'm not sure what else to do. Possibly unrelated: At one point, I somehow managed to disable Task Manager; even manually replacing the file for it in the Windows directory didn't bring it back, although it did eventually return seemingly of its own accord. That may have been around the same time that I lost the compatibility ability, but I can't say for certain.

I'm running Win XP Pro and am unable to log on/get to the desktop. When I start the computer the black screen with the white writing comes up, then takes me to the desktop with nothing on it. No icons/tool bar, etc. Then, the welcome screen comes up.I click on my log-on name which then immediately says logging off. It doesn't log off, just sits there. I don't see a safe mode mentioned in the start up screen but I'm sure it must be there. Can anyone help me get to the desk top?

I am unable to log on to my other computer Usually when I turn the computer on, you don't need to log on to a username because there is only one. On the start-up screen, however, it said "Owner" (no password). When I click on it, it says "Loading personal settings" underneath "Owner"... then it pauses. An blank error message comes up (with only the 'Yes' or 'No' option). You cannot exit the error box.Whichever you pick (Yes or no), it continues to log on. It shows the wallpaper background then logs back off before it could load anything else.It returns to the log-on screen. I could click "Owner"... but it would just do the same thing all over again.Also: I've recently formatted my computer about a month ago. Everything was just fine. I've installed ZoneAlarm and something called AVG or something.Has this ever happened before?

I'm unable to log into my computer (not the one I am using right now). As soon as I type in my password, the computer just freezes and does nothing. I tried going into safe mode but the same thing happens. Is it perhaps a virus? I don't have the windows CD for that computer as it used to belong to my brother who had it for school and it has the school's copy of windows installed. Is there anything I can do or will I just have to buy another copy of windows?

I wonder if someone can help me with this issue. I am using an HP laptop that operates Windows XP. The problem is that when I log into the system, it shows a message that indicates a corrupted registry files in the user profile, then windows logs into another created user profile as the following: username.computer's name, rather than having the user name only. I still can view my folders and My Documents, but I cannot access my previous user profile. The starting page that Windows loads when I log in is that same page that was when I first purchased the laptop. I also tried to change my password but this didn't work. The problem seems to be in the registry files. Can anyone lead me to the solution?

I'm currently working on a friends laptop thats running Windows XP Pro with SP2. This thing is definitely infected and I'm trying to run hijackthis and other programs to clean it. Anytime I attempt to run a program (exe file), the system runs a spools.exe instead of the actually program I double clicked on. This file then sits in task manager at 100% cpu. I located the file and deleted it but now when I run an exe the system asks me which program to use to run it?!I'm assuming a virus changed something in the registry related to this however I can't even run regedit.

I had some problems with my system that resulted in me wanting to format and reinstall Windows XP. I booted from the install CD and after the program loaded the drivers at the beginning, the program shut down during "Starting Windows" and I got a blue screen error. Your typical XP error, "Your computer has been shut down before any more harm is caused to it." and something about pci.sys and then a memory location at the bottom of the screen. I tried installing 2 different versions of Windows from 3 different CDs and all froze at the same with the same error. I also attempted to run a diagnostic program from the hard drive manufacturer (Seagate) which freezes whenever I run it (I get to a prompt but I'm unable to type anything). I was able to install Windows onto the hard drive fine when I hooked it into a friends' system but when I put the hard drive back in my system I got "Error loading the operating system." (I assume you need to install Windows on the system that will be using it? It ran fine when hooked into my friend's computer) So, here I am unable to load an OS onto my system and I have no clue as to why. My computer is a Dell Dimension 9100 P4 system.

I have been having alot of trouble lately. Every time I try to click on a site I get an unable to connect message, if I go back and try again it usually goes through the third or fourth time clicking the link. This is happening with every site. I am running windows ME. I have tried disabling Norton, running ccleaner, all spyware utilities and nothing helps. It has taken me about 45 minutes just to be able to post this message.

I work from home and am stressing here! I was working on a file in Word and all of a sudden my cursor seemed to get "stuck" and was advancing rapidly. I unplugged the keyboard, the mouse, everything, and nothing would stop it. I thought it maybe needed to be rebooted, but when I did that, I got myself in a worse position because now it is STILL stuck and it won't let me enter my password in the sign-on area. (I had password protected it to keep my teenage daughter off the computer at times she wasn't allowed to be). So I can say it's not the keyboard or the mouse, because after unplugging them, it still types *something* all by itself into my signon box. And I can't get it to stop.

This is what I did and now I can not undo it.In control userpasswords2 from command prompt, I unchecked the "User must enter a user name and password to use this computer" Thinking that unchecking this would disable the log on screen at start up. HA!! Was I wrong. Can not log in this pc anymore, not in safe mode, not with xp disc to try a repair. Completely locked out. Can not get command prompts. ZIP ZILCH NADDA. OOPSY.The only thing I can get to is the BIOS utility, that is it. No one placed an "administrator's" password on this thing, which baffles me. Is there a default password by chance?

My daughter is unable to get on the Internet.She can get on MSN Messenger by using the little icon in the bottom tray,it will keep signing her in & out.She can get on Yahoo Messenger the same way & doesn't seem to have any problems staying connected to it.I had her check her AVG to see if it needed updated.When she clicked on the desktop icon it came up to her Virus vault.When she clicks on it it says- The memory could not be read.So she clicks ok & the AVG disappears.Next I had her click on her Internet Explorer icon itsaid-iexplorer.exe-Application error. It comes up in a box that is blue on the top & tan on the bottom. Then it also closes itself.I told her I would come on here & see if anyone had any ideas of what I can tell her to do since she can't seem to get on the Internet & I don't have XP.

I have this problem where I was not able to send or receive using Microsoft Fax (for WinXP and 2000). I'm using a GPRS modem which I have got working for other fax softwares like Symantec and MightyFax. I was able to establish a connection but was not able to send or receive. I can hear the ringing sound from the remote fax machine I was dialing but no fax was received there. Error message is "An error occurred while sending/receiving fax". For Win2000, I was only able to send but even then, the fax was not clear.

I want to restore my PC to a week ago. I have not put anything on but it is a new PC and it loaded and updated antivirus program & spyware programs.What are my chances that it will restore back to a week ago properly before the programs were updated without creating other problems. It seems like an awful lot for it to back out. Then I could change some of the choices I made.
