fax device error

[Guest]

I have been using Print/Fax with Word 2003 since buying this new PC
last November. I haveWin XP Home SP2, and an ESS ES56H-PI Data Fax
Modem.

Unfortunately, over the week-end I completely screwed up my PC when
trying to install a Linux O/S, and had to re-install Win XP - which I
have successfully done. I am now re-installing my various applications,
and have installed Win XP Fax using the same procedure as I used last
November (Faxing in Windows XP by Sharon Crawford). Everything seemed
to go OK, but when I try to send a fax I get an error message on the
Fax Monitor: 'Fax device error'.

I just do not understand what can have gone wrong. Help would be
appreciated.

Thanks

fredjb

Your Fax device is your 56k modem. Have you checked it out that the
drivers are properly installed under Control Panel/System/Device Manager?

Thanks, Byte.

Yes, it's shown as 'Standard 56000 bps modem'

Also, it's the same modem which I was using only last week to send
faxes. Nothing has changed in this regard.

Best
