I had an earlier version, 9.0. Couldn't use it on XP. Wanted to upgrade to 10.0. Had to remove 9.0. Meanwhile, WinFax wouldn't let me get to my email. It inserted random crashes into Word and Dragon. And above all, wouldn't let me delete the program or its parts (I still have most of them) without going into the registry, and that's another dreadful story. I finally learned that 9.0 won't work with XP, nor will it work with broadband. From its history and my experience, I suggest that only masochists install any version of WinFaxPro.

This has been a great product through the years. Unfortunately Symantec has decided in their stupid wisdom to discontuinue it. It will not work under Vista. On to something better!

I used this product before Symantec bought it. It was called Delrina WinFax Pro. It was a great product.Based on my past experience with the product and the reputation Symantec has had in the utility market, I thought I would try this "new and improved" product. I USED to be a fan of Symantec's products for many years until recently. Save your money and don't bother with trying the fix from the Symantec website. Install the fax accessory from your Windows XP disk. That in conjunction with whatever templates your word processor uses will work just as well and you'll be dollars ahead.

Since upgrading to XP Pro and DSL, I have had scarce need for faxing. When the need did arise, I installed an old 56k modem I had laying around and activated the XP faxing utility to receive. Works fine and distinguishes between voice and fax. I find out that the XP fax utility won't handle attachments, and suddenly I have a need to fax a receipt. Fine. I find a cheap version of WF Pro on an auction site so now I can handle anything that comes my way. Right?
Not really. If you set it to automatic receive, all your callers will hear that annoying fax ring. If you disable automatic receive, you'll need to be in front of your computer to receive a fax! That's a great use of my time. Back to the dark ages. The only solution Symantec offers for this problem is to pay for distinctive ring with your phone company - and that only works with Windows 95 and 98! If the cheap-y little built-in utility can do it, WFP should be able to do it!
Summary: This is an antiquated, bloated program. It installs a ton of unneeded garbage - and then won't even distinguish between voice and fax incoming calls. Although better than WXP's built in faxing utility, not worth buying unless you have a lot of time on your hands or a computer dedicated to it.

I am surprised to see all the negative reviews on this product, which has been working perfectly since I had Windows 2000, then XP with SP2. Now that I have a new laptop with Vista, I am looking to see which version of WinFax will work with Vista.
The only time I had problems with WinFax was that I installed language pack (I think Arabic or Chinese), and the support staff was very helpful. After I uninstalled the language pack, it never gave me headache. I guess I have been the lucky one!
