When I try to add fax as a windows component in the control panel, I get a
prompt for windows xp professional service pack 2 CD-ROM or i386 folder.
Service Pack 2 is installed on my pc, I've done a search for the i386 folder
and found it in windows\driver cache but what do I do from there? I keep
having to abort the installation process.

Can anyone help??!!

What happens if you put the XP CD in and hit Enter?

I don't have a CD, XP was already on the computer when I got it.

Does it give you the opportunity to "browse" for the program? If so, point
it to the i386 folder. If that doesn't work, contact the people who sold you
the computer and demand an XP CD and for them to tell you what your product
key is. What if you have to reinstall Windows?

I wouldn't buy a computer unless I got the XP CD.

Hi,

I have tried your fix but it doesn't solve the problem, I get an error
message that the file fxsclnt can't be found. The solution in microsft's
@adding or removing windows components' re corrupt security database doesn't
help either.

Any other suggestions?
