More info?)
I've been trying to add fax service to XP as well and had the same problem as
Trish. I tried what you suggested and could not find the two compressed
files. It keeps asking me to insert the "Windows XP Home Edition Service
Pack 1 CD." I've never had one of those. I've searched the KB and nothing
seems to help. What's the deal?
