I had the same problems with WinXP Pro and SP2, the supplied version of the fax program that comes with WinXP would not install, kept hunting for files, ended up installing WinFax, heaps more features, and having used the Windows version of Fax on a different computer, much easier to use WinFax.
Firstly download SP2, from:
http://www.softwarepatch.com/windows/xpsp2.html
Save onto your desktop
Close the error message window, if needed.
Click Start , and click Run .
In the Run dialog box, type the command esentutl /p %windir%\security\database\secedit.sdb and click OK .
A message warning about the danger of running the repair command is displayed. Click OK to acknowledge and clear the message.
When the repair is complete, shutdown and restart the PC.
Follow the software manufacturer’s instructions to perform the installation process for the fax software.
When windows asks you to install the first file, browse to your downloaded sp2\i386 folder & click ok.
You will notice that windows prompts you again to install a second file, the second file needs to be installed from the original xp with sp2 cd, I386 folder again.
Any news if The Thinker’s method worked? anyone? I dont want to mess up other drivers in my computer that might get overwritten so thats why Im asking before I should try this.
