Hi there,
I have been struggling with this problem for several months, after
trying to install Windows Fax services on a brandnew HP Compaq nc6000
with XP SP 2 preinstalled. I just found a solution on the HP suport
site dated 27 may 2005. I don't know what it does, but it works for me!
After following the instructions below, the fax drivers installed like a
breeze, and I just sent my first fax!
Here is the URL to the support page:

file" error message is displayed.
