Microsoft Fax Dials "h" When You Send a Fax (258588)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows 95
- Microsoft Windows 98
- Microsoft Windows 98 Second Edition
This article was previously published under Q258588 SYMPTOMS After you install software that updates Telephony
Application Programming Interface (TAPI) to version 2.1, you may not be able to
send a long distance fax. The fax is processed and the correct phone number
seems to be dialed until the Microsoft Fax dialing takes over. The Fax Send dialog box then reports that the number dialed is "h" and the fax
is not sent. CAUSE The Windows 95 version of the Awfxex32.exe (version
4.0.1002 or earlier) file is not compatible with TAPI 2.1. RESOLUTION For Windows 95, please contact Microsoft Product Support
Services for the updated file.
For Windows 98 and Windows 98 Second
Edition, install Awfax.exe from the Windows 98 CD-ROM. This file is located in
the Tools\Oldwin95\Message\US folder.
Windows 95 users who have
access to a Windows 98 CD-ROM can also install Awfax.exe to fix this issue.
MORE INFORMATION Programs known to install TAPI 2.1 include MSN, The
Microsoft Network 5.x, Windows 98, and Windows 98 Second Edition.
