I have winfax 10.02 (the latest I have ever seen available) working
fine under XP. It took quite a while, including several
re-installations, to make it recognise the modem (already installed
and working under XP) etc.

I even have it working on a laptop with a GSM fax card.... that took
rather longer!!!

But one cannot enter the sender data like the fax and voice numbers.
Only the CSID can be entered and if you try to type in any of the
others the dialog box vanishes. I suspect the data is held in a file
somewhere, or in the registry, but thus far have not found it. The
winfax registry entry is under Delrina by the way (the original owner)
not Symantec.

Actually, Symantec issued version 10.03 that supposedly dealt with WinXP issues.
I have version 10.02, which ran perfectly on my Win2K system but I never
installed it after upgrading to WinXP Pro.

FWIW, Symantec also issued a 10.04 update (patch) for version 10.02 and 10.03.

Yes, Delrina was the original developer/author of Winfax. I had the Delrina
suite of utilities which included winfax 3 (or maybe it was 4). Initially
Symantec didn't do much to Winfax's code (thank goodness) that's why a lot of
Delrina entries are found in the registry and elsewhere in the program settings.

Here's an old link for info about the 10.04 update:

IIRC, the 10.04 update was useful only when WinFax was used as a shared fax,
perhaps not so common. And you had to have 10.03 to start with.

What would really be useful to people is an upgrade from 10.02 to 10.03. I
think Symantec charged for that one (annoying lots of users), which is why
it's so hard to find.

What did 10.03 fix?

As you say, 10.04 doesn't seem relevant.

I have looked around P2P and can find the whole 10.02 package only.
Lots and lots of it though :)

I used Winfax since v4 and that version worked under win3.x and
winNT4.

Does anybody know how to configure the fax # in the "disappearing"
user properties dialog?

We still use Talkworks 3 on XP, which was Winfax 5(?) Installing SP3
hasn't affected it. We use two Creative Modem Blaster USB DE5670 that
Talkworks detects for voice & data (due to the Conexant chipset which
used to be Rockwell). The only thing we had to do was remove the INF
files for Creative modems in Windows that didn't support voice so we
could have it install the correct drivers.

I only pointed out version 10.04 to illustrate to you that there were versions
beyond 10.02.

Do a Google search and you'll come up with a few sources. Here's two:

Since this thread is now OT for this Windows XP NG, I'd suggest joining a more
relevant forum such as:

Premium WinFax support forums
http://www.getfaxing.com/services.htm

They should also be able to tell you what version 10.03 fixed for WinXP.
