WinFax PRO shuts down when entering a number.

The problem is described as follows: entering fax numbers in a WinFax phone book causes WinFax to shut down. You may have also encountered various problems (dialog boxes disappearing, closing, General Protection Faults) during the installation or setup of WinFax – such as, entering a fax number,  IP address, changing or setting area codes, prefixes, entering passwords, or entering or changing a CSID (Caller Station Identifer).

GetFaxing.com was the first to identify and solve this issue.  Members of GetFaxing.com support forums were the first to receive this fix, included in the WinFax Tools software.
