Outlook conflicts with WinFax Pro v 10
I have problems with Outlook 2003 and WinFax Pro v 10. Whenever I click on
the "Outlook, WinFax Fax Logs" folder the Outlook 2003 no response only the solution I have right now is uninstalled the WinFax. I did customized installation many times such as installed without E-mail feature but always I got the "WinFax Fax Logs" folder in "Outlook 2003" so I have the same problems again and again. So I am looking for your help to fix this problem. Thanks in advanced. Regards, Nee |

Outlook conflicts with WinFax Pro v 10
Did you check with Symantec?
This is a known issue which I presume they have no intention of fixing. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Nee" wrote in message ... I have problems with Outlook 2003 and WinFax Pro v 10.

Outlook conflicts with WinFax Pro v 10
Contact Symantec - they have an alleged fix for this problem. It is not an
Outlook problem. -- Milly Staples [MVP - Outlook] Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact. All unsolicited mail sent to my personal account will be deleted without reading.

I did customized installation many times such as installed without E-mail feature but always I got the "WinFax Fax Logs" folder in "Outlook 2003" so I have the same problems again and again. So I am looking for your help to fix this problem. Disable the Office integration in WinFax's configuration. It doesn't work well if at all. You mention having version 10 of WinFax but there are minor versions (which you didn't mention). As I recall, 10.01 did not properly support Office (Outlook) integration and caused errors, and I have to upgrade to 10.02. The minor version is not shown on the retail packaging (all you see is version 10). The Help - About menu doesn't even show the hundredth digit. As I recall, I had to call Symantec which probably told me to look at the properties for a file to see the Version listed under the Version tab panel for properties. It is supposedly a very minor change since only the hundredth digit changes in the version number yet Symantec wanted me to buy a whole new upgrade although I just purchased the version 10 retail (which was 10.01 instead of 10.02). Instead, at that time, I went back to the non-Pro WinFax that I could install separately from Norton SystemWorks (I didn't install anything of SystemWorks except just WinFax Basic). I reverted to the Basic version because Symantec has a 30-day satisfaction guarantee where they refunded my retail cost for the Pro version. I was ****ed at the time, had the Basic version that worked, and chose to get the refund. It was ridiculous and greedy that Symantec wouldn't make available a free update or patch for a *hundredth digit* version change (from 10.01 to 10.02). You charge for major version changes, not minor version changes. That was under Windows 2000. Now under Windows XP, I have WinFax Pro installed (got it real cheap, probably at buycheapsoftware.com where you can get 10.03 for $19), and mine looks to be version 10.00, but I already knew to disable the Office integration. In WinFax Pro under Tools - Options menu, Email and Outlook Integration, disable it. You may have to stop and restart the WinFax service or just reboot to make sure it obeys the new configuration. When you uninstalled WinFax Pro, did the WinFax Logs item still appear in Outlook's folder list? If so, the uninstall did not update Outlook settings, probably in the registry, to remove that item. That means Outlook has a pointer to an object that is no longer defined. I don't have the integration enabled and do not have the WinFax Logs item in the folder list so I don't know what registry key might define the object within Outlook (and I won't be enabling the integration only to get screwed over by Symantec's acquired Delrina product that Symantec abandoned). Personally I would just stick with the Fax Service already included in Windows XP yet WinFax gives just enough additional management features to still make it desirable plus it lets me select and edit pre-defined cover pages. It doesn't have the Outlook integration but then that isn't anything that I miss because it is disabled in WinFax Pro, anyway. It will use the Windows Address Book, the same one you see in Outlook Express. You can export Outlook's contacts to a CSV file that you can import into the Windows Address Book. Maybe, in Vista, Microsoft will realize that there really should only be one address book shared by all applications. -- __________________________________________________ Post replies to the newsgroup.
