AskWoody Loungerk I too have the same problem – but this occurs to an external hard disk drive on PC1. Peculiarly the internal drives map ok – it’s just the exterior one. Any ideas please? I have increased the stack to 27 so far, with no solving of the problem as yet.

AskWoody Lounger@ kaplinb
Well, you do surprise me. Up until 4 days ago I have always been able to send a new fax from the fax console. I think that a windows update must have changed something. -
WSStephenElms
AskWoody Lounger1. I open the fax console
2. I click on new fax icon
3. The error message: The operation cannot be completed, pops up along with the mysterious detail!
4. From exel, access, word or any other programme that we can print from, the fax printer and cover pages are available and can be sentHope this helps and would appreciate anybody throwing light on this

AskWoody LoungerNow found that there was an error in reading pc2 – Acronis wouldn’t recover (!!!) so my girls did a complete re-install
of XP. Now the other pc’s can see the external disk drives. So thanks for the help and advice.

AskWoody LoungerHi Suart, Setting stack at 50 has made no difference. Have put back external disk drive that was being read this morning – no difference. So now to disconnect external drive 2….

AskWoody LoungerHave been increasing the IRPStackSize, now going to try 36, without success so far. Just to clarify your comment please: this is happening on the server or client pc?

AskWoody LoungerOk thanks for that. It’s pretty much as we suspected. However up until the end of November we could always compose a new fax from the fax consoles – on both pc’s, that why we were surprised to get this message. Anyhow – thanks again for the insight.

AskWoody LoungerThank you Hans – your advice worked for my problem too.

AskWoody LoungerAn interesting thread. We are considering an upgrade to Orifice 2007 from 2003. However from this thread I think that the move would not be beneficial; currently 2003 works OK and I cannot see a beneficial increase in productivity to 2007.

AskWoody LoungerNo change, the Start button didn’t work. Now PC2 won’t boot even to safe mode… having to re-install XP = most annoying.

AskWoody LoungerHi Doc,
Don’t know is the answer… pc2 on 4th boot loaded ok. Next time this happens I’ll try that and let you know.
