Memberthanks for the reply but it didnt work.
when i click the no pages fix button it says nothing to fix.
i think the sp3 or some software is not compatible with winfax.
and i see message in the printer quee when printing to winfax and it says: Invalid DEVMODE structure.. does it mean something you?July 9, 2008 at 2:47 pm #7747Administrator
KeymasterGo into the control panel, Printers.
select the WinFax printer driver, right-click , then select Delete.
Repeat this step for the WinFax (Photo Quality) printer driver.Once both drivers are deleted, reboot the computer.
Go back to control panel, Printers Folder.
Ensure both WinFax drivers are missing.
Close Control Panel, Printers folder.
Click Start, All Programs, WinFax PRO, Install Directory
The WinFax Install folder should appear.
Locate and double-click “INSPRINT.EXE” file.Wait a minute and then check the Control Panel, Printers folder.
Do both WinFax drivers appear?Start WinFax PRO.
Now try sending a fax printing from another application.July 9, 2008 at 2:48 pm #7748Administrator
KeymasterALSO: version 10.04 should have only been installed overtop an existing 10.03 version of WinFax PRO. If you installed it over any other version, then you will need to uninstall and reinstall WinFax.

MemberHello,
I am facing a similar problem, I have Windows XP Home Edition with SP3 installed and the Winfax printer dialog does not appear.
I followed the instructions above, but my problem was not solved.
I tried various solutions:
I tried to uninstall Winfax and reinstall it.
I tried to delete all the traces of Winfax in the Registry, etc.
Do you have any idea how should I solve this problem?
Currently I can only receive faxes and cannot send faxes from this machine.TIA,

ParticipantDownload WinFax Tools from here: http://www.getfaxing.com/downloads/patches/index.php
(current version as of 07/26/2009 is 1.09)Click “No Pages Fix”.
Click Yes to check for compatibility.This should fix the problem, if not, let us know.

MemberThank you for your quick reply.
I tried this. It does not solve the problem.
It claims that “no comptability changes were applied”.
I also tried to reinstall the printer driver, which didn’t solve the problem either.
What should I try next?
BTW, Is there a way in this forum to receive email notifications once a reply is posted?TIA,

I tried both 10.03 and 10.04. I tried installing, reinstalling, deleting the registry entries, actually everything I could think of, expect for reformatting the hard disk and reinstalling Windows, which I try avoid…

Yes.

I am using English WinFax with Hebrew Windows XP Home Edition (as far as I know, there was never a Hebrew version of Winfax, Israel is just too small…).

Thanks, I used it, now it works. Somehow it didn’t work in the last time.

KeymasterI seem to recall a similar problem with a Hebrew version of Windows XP, unfortunately, no solution was found with the 10.03 install, but the original poster got everything working with 10.00. I found it here:
viewtopic.php?f=24&t=445Some other suggestions, hints:
Make sure you are using a 32 bit Windows XP version, WinFax does not work with x64 bit versions of Windows. I don’t believe you’re using an x64 bit version, but I mention it for others that may be reading this thread.
Did you install WinFax with an account with Administrator rights ?
Also make sure you have both : wfxsnt40.exe and wfxswtch.exe active programs in your program list (see the list in WinFax Tools) this will usually be found in c:windowssystem32wfxsnt40.exe and c:program fileswinfaxwfxswtch.exe
These two programs should be in your Windows startup, and should be active all the time. Wfxswtch.exe is active only with versions 10.02, 10.03 and 10.04 with Windows XP operating systems.Do you see any error messages in Event Viewer, under System, related to WinFax “Printer” ?
(Start, Run, type Eventvwr.msc and click Ok.)Try starting the WinFax Controller,
go to Control Panel, Printers.
Open the WinFax printer driver,
click on Properies.
Click Print Test Page.
Does the WinFax dialog box open? Do you see the Windows printer test page? -
