Sparkhard 0 Posted February 9, 2001 I am haveing trouble setting up my FAX Service software. when I start the FAX Service management it gives me this message Could not open a connection to the fax service. The fax service might not be strted or the computer name might be incorrect. so i tried to force it to start in SERVICES. It is set to manual and i changed it to START, when i do that i get this messge Could not start the Fax Service service on local computer error:1068 the dependency service or group failed to start. I have a modem installed and i am logging on as the Administrator. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Sparkhard ------------------ You cant always get what you want, but if you try you'll find you get what you need [This message has been edited by Sparkhard (edited 09 February 2001).] Share this post Link to post

clutch 1 Posted February 21, 2001 Here is a link on configuring the service: http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q246/1/51.ASP But I think your issue may revolve around the summary sentence: "To gain access to the Messaging Application Programming Interface (MAPI) e-mail client profile, you must configure the Microsoft Windows 2000 Fax Service to run under an Administrator account. " I ran into this same problem trying to connect to my servers with perfmon. If you don't know how to do this, reply here. ------------------ Regards, clutch Share this post Link to post
