I just sent a test fax from outlook, following the instructions, and it was great. My system crashed blue screen after, but it sent it ok, and I received it at the destination number perfect. It saved the sent fax as a sent email, which is fine. On completing a restart, it automatically repeated sending the fax, which was also received perfectly, and then crashed blue screen again, and on another restart, it began to repeat, once more, but I cancelled it, and got an email advising me the fax had been cancelled. So, without looking into the blue screen messages, as yet. The WinFax SE seemed to works fine. Prior to this, I was experiencing some lack of memory issues.

The WinFax app, which opens automatically when you open Outlook, must be open, before you fax, or you must have more CPU or RAM, not sure which, but more than I have.

If WinFax SE is working for you count your blessings. It was quickly discontinued because it was so unreliable and demanded so much support.

When I close the process, my system needs to reload WinFax SE at the same time, while preparing the fax for transmission, and that overloads the system. Keep in mind, that at the time, WinFax SE first came out, a system like mine, NT4 SP6a, dual P166, 192 MB of RAM, was not necessarily capable of providing all of the system resources necessary to use WinFax SE with other apps already open, ie. Outlook and IE and a number of applets which make computer networking so much easier, all at the same time. I have only 192 MB of RAM, and after I have opened my default apps, which are open all of the time, I have less than 50 MB of RAM remaining. Too bad WinFax SE does not interact as a printer fax function, or interact with the same resources as a printer fax function. I think WinFax SE only needed more RAM or less demand on RAM.

There were tons of problems with WinFax SE, so many that MS discontinued it almost immediately. You may be the only person around who is still using WinFax SE and is happy.
