I can't fax anymore. (xp)

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

I used to be able to fax. I have windows xp. I haven't used my fax since
about April. Now when I try to use it, it won't work. When I click on Phone
and Modem options in Control panel I get the message "Phone and Modem Control
Panel cannot be opened. You may have a problem starting telephony service."
I uninstalled and reinstalled the fax, but no change after that.

This is not a problem with the fax program. You need to identify what
program has taken control of or locked your modem's telephony protocols. We
would have no way of knowing that. What other fax or communication programs
are installed on your computer? What steps created this problem?

Did you try uninstalling and reinstalling the modem?
