Windows Fax and Scan

jmjprince · 01-06-2008

I have Windows Vista Ultimate OS. The Windows Fax and Scan software previously worked but now when I try to run it I get an immediate error message - Microsoft Windows Fax and Scan Has Stopped Working. I can seem to find a fix for it nor can I open the software. And I have not made any changes to the system other then the numerous Microsoft Updates that have been installed.

Any suggestions?

We're at a disadvantage. You were there. We weren't. There are no reports of
WFS just stopping for no reason. You must have some clue.

You know, if I had a clue I would have fixed it.

The service is stopped and everytime I try to start it, it says that "the dependency group or service fails to start". I have no clue what to do with that.

Then look at the permissions set for the Fax Service. And think harder about
what you changed. This is end user error.
