Error Message: Your EFAXPUMP.INI File Has Become Too Large (131635)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.11
This article was previously published under Q131635 SYMPTOMS
When you try to send a fax using Microsoft At Work PC Fax you may receive
the following error message:
Your EFAXPUMP.INI file has become too large. Please delete
capabilities for unused recipients from the [capabilities] section
to allow new capabilities to be written.
CAUSE
Microsoft At Work PC Fax generates this error message when the size of the
EFAXPUMP.INI file exceeds 50K.
When you first send a fax using Microsoft At Work PC Fax, a [Capabilities]
section is created in the EFAXPUMP.INI file. This section contains
information about each phone number dialed. Each time you send a fax to a
phone number that you have not dialed before, a new entry is added to the
[Capabilities] section. These entries remain in the EFAXPUMP.INI file.
RESOLUTION
Use any text editor (such as Notepad) to open the EFAXPUMP.INI file and
remove some or all of the entries from the [Capabilities] section. You
should start by deleting numbers that are not likely to be used again.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Windows For
Workgroups version 3.11. We are researching this problem and will post
new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes
available.
MORE INFORMATION
Only new phone numbers are added to the [Capabilities] section.
Repeated faxing to the same phone number does not add duplicate
entries.
