Multiple user profiles & winfax pro v7
I have installed winfax pro version 7 for windows 95. In my user
profile all is well. I send and recieve faxes ok.
However when I put a shortcut to it on my wifes desktop (same machine)
the program fires up ok but faxes cannot be sent or recieved, manually
or automatically. Investigation showed that the modem didnt appear to
be configured within winfax pro for my wifes profile. Even though I
use the program ok when logged in with my profile.
Attempts to configure the modem in my wifes profile using the setup
wizard were not successful. I get as far as the bit where a list
modems SHOULD be displayed but there is nothing there. The wizards
'next' button is greyed out and so I cannot configure the modem.
To remove the possibility that the modem may have already been set or
in use, I have restarted the PC and tried my wifes version straight
from starup.
I have setup individual profiles for the users of my machine. That is each person, normally only my wife and myself, logs in using unique user names and passwords. This preserves our own preferences, desktop layouts etc.
Hope this answers your question.
Thanks

You say you have two different profile. Have you made this profiles with enabling user profiles or have you made two different konfiguration. I meen, can you choose yours and your wifes konfiguration from a startup menu ?

smeebud,
I need you to be more specific, Your answer does not tell me which component in windows setup to modify in accordance with your answer.
Also I see nothing in Windows setup that is specific to Winfax Pro. I feel I must point out that my wifes user profile allows her full use of all standard windows components. The modem is seemingly ONLY unavailable to her from Winfax Pro.

mareg,
Here's what I'd do. Export your user profile from the registry,
and export your wifes also. Then use a file compare utility to see where the difference is. I have a very good utility from Berry Press called "Match32.exe". It easily handles two complete reg exports. And it will highlight the differences.
I have it and will be glad to send it to you, it's small in kb's,
and only requires:
ADVAPI32.dll
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\ADVAPI32
GDI32.dll
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\GDI32.dl
USER32.dll
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\USER32.d
SHELL32.dll
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\SHELL32.
comdlg32.dll
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\comdlg32
KERNEL32.dll
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\KERNEL32
