Configuring Fax on Windows XP Pro

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.print_fax (More info?)

That means the the tabletpc.inf file is not on your harddrive. You'll have to
extract it from either the bin directory, probably under I386 (you can run a
search of your harddrive for it, or from your XP installation CD.
Go to the following:
Start>Run>type MSCONFIG and click OK
Within the window you'll see a button "Expand file", click it and fill in the
blocks. Put the file under C:\Windows\inf
Without the inf file, your fax will not run.

OK, how do I run a search for it? My installation CD is in storage out in
another state, so that option is out.

That's cute. As I stated, look for i386 directory.
Just go to: Start>Search>files and folders>type i386 and press OK
It should come up with several hits.
Select the one either under C:\ or C:\Windows or C\Windows\System32
If the inf file is within that directory it will extract it for you.
Otherwise, you could try a friends XP CD and it may work for you.
