Microsoft fax can't send
Last response: in Windows XP
Hi there; this problem started about a week ago. Don't know what changes were made. My windows XP fax program won't send any more. It receives dozens of faxes a day, but does not send. I compose my fax, go through the steps, can preview it. Then I click on send. And... nothing happens. It's not even in the outbox. Crazy! I even uninstalled the driver, had windows reinstall it. Nothing still. I am in a good mood to replace the fax program with a different program (not the built-in function from Microsoft). Hopefully someone has an answer.

From what I figured out afterwards, the problem was caused by the Windows updates that were released early August 2010. After restoring the system, the fax sending worked again. There were about 14 updates that were installed and it seemed as if each one caused the issue. So I gave up and didn't install those updates. It was too time consuming to understand why and which one specifically triggered this.
