The only thing I can think of, is use a scanner to do that. I don't know if you can do two at the same time in Word. ------------------ IP: Logged |

How do you send two different documents at the same time in one fax? I can do it twice but it wastes more time. IP: Logged |

Great, to send two docs just do the same process again. Or do you want to send to at the same time? Lets see if this is what you want. Are you familiar with the “send to option?” If you wanted to send a fax just, right click and then use the send to fax recipient. Is that what you mean? ------------------ IP: Logged |

Yes, it works great the way you said in word. I just need to open whatever I want to send in word first and then fax it, right? How would I send two documents? Also,in my previous fax program, winfax pro, you could add documents from the wizard without opening any program except winfax itself. Am I correct that you cannot from xp fax? IP: Logged |

Great  If your using Word, then act like you want to print the document, go to file-print. Now from there, you will see your local printer and then where that is you can drop down and select the fax. Once that is done, hit print, and the fax wizard will do the rest for you. ------------------ IP: Logged |

Yes, it is installed and working so the problem is solved. Now a new problem. One giant step forward; a little one back. How do you attach documents to the cover sheet when using the windows xp send fax wizard? I can create and send a fax but there's no place to attach documents????? IP: Logged |

Sometimes that happens, is the fax installed and working? Well the other choices you got were the different commands you could do the different parameters. Try this, go back to the command prompt, type sfc /? Press enter. This will tell you what commands you can do with sfc. If you wanted to do the /SCANONCE command which will Scan all protected system files once at the next boot. Then you would type sfc/scanonce then press enter. No do not get rid of the file it created. ------------------ [This message has been edited by Josh1 (edited May 01, 2003).] IP: Logged |

I had to find the file for it on the cd rom? It wasn't enough just to show it the correct drive letter location of the xp installation cd. When I did find the file on the installion cd it continued and finished the fax install. I don't know if the sfc utility worked? How would you know if it did? Also, it gave me lots of choices from the dos window. I used scannow. Do I now need to run it to get rid of the file it created? Thats also one of the choices. Thanks, Dominic IP: Logged |

So the SFC utility worked or did it? It seems like it had problems running, and looks like it did not work after all. So after you ran the SFC you tried to install the fax, by going to Start-Control Panel-Add remove programs-then add programs and you selected the fax. However when you did this you got an error saying, that fxscount.h could not be found on the Windows XP Professional CD-ROM? Did you make sure that the system was looking on the G:\? ------------------ IP: Logged |

I followed your isntructions and typed in SFC at the command prompt and it gave me a list of choices. I then typed in SFC/scannow and it asked me me to install the installation CD and it said it was creating a dll file. It went though a long process and would stop occasionally and I would click on retry and it would continue. It then finished and didn't specify anything. I then took out the installation CD and reinserted it and tried to add the fax component from the CD. It stopped and said it could not find fxscount.h Specifically it said "The file 'fxcount.h' on Windows XP Professional CD-ROM is needed. Type the path where the file is located and then click OK. The XP installation CD is on drive G and this is what I used to start this process. How can it not know where it is? Why can't it find the CD nor the file on the CD? I browse to G and then click on Open and it says file not found. IP: Logged |

SFC will check the hard disk and the files to make sure nothing is messed up. Try this go to start-run-type in cmd then at the prompt type sfc ------------------ IP: Logged |

What does sfc do? I did it and I get a flash of a black screen for a second and then its gone? Why can't the installation proceed from the installation disk. There's nothing wrong with it. Its only been used once. Aren't all those files on the installation disk? Dominic IP: Logged |

What you could do, go to start-run then type in sfc, see if it can fix those files for you if any or found. If that does not wotk, then we might need to reinstall Windows. ------------------ IP: Logged |
