To summarize it briefly your fax software does not appear to be compatible with Windows ME. The only apparent solution is to get new fax software.

AWfax was specifically designed for Windows 95-98 and will never run on ME. ME has no built in Fax solution, so a Third Party Software compatible with Windows ME will have to be used like Symantec WinFax Pro.

Here's the deal my good man; windows ME does not play nice with your faxing program.

That said, you have NO CHOICE but to go out and buy an "ME compatible" faxing program.

Sometime we have to come to terms with reality - this is one of those times. You can thank Bill Gates for it.

Good luck.

Hi
Another MS goody check this one:
MS FAX will only work with mapi32.dll which is 700k or more and dated no later than 04/24/1998. pls dothese steps to solve your problem:
1- Find files that has mapi32*.dll
2 If you find one say mapi32x.dll then do
A- rename name mapi32.dll to say mapi32.new
B- renname mapi32x.dll to mapi32.dll
*** VERY IMPORTANT ****
Do as abouve so no loose of any file.
To rename mapi32.dll it is better to reboot and be in DOS mode.
GOOD LUCK.
