SYMPTOMS
========
 
When you are sending a fax with Microsoft Fax, you may receive the
following error message:
 
   WordPad caused a General Protection Fault in WPSUNI.DRV
 
This message may appear when you are trying to send a fax from Microsoft
Word for Windows or another word processor.
 
CAUSE
=====
 
This error occurs if Microsoft Fax accesses an older version of the
Faxcodec.dll file in the Windows folder.
 
RESOLUTION
==========
 
Remove the Faxcodec.dll file from the Windows folder. The correct
(Windows 95) version of the Faxcodec.dll file should be located in
the Windows\System folder.
 
MORE INFORMATION
================
 
The Faxcodec.dll file is one of the Microsoft At Work Fax components for
Windows for Workgroups version 3.11 and is located in the Windows folder.
When you install Windows 95, a new version of the Faxcodec.dll file is
placed in the Windows\System folder, but the older file is not removed from
the Windows folder.
 
If the Windows folder is listed in the PATH statement before the
Windows\System folder, Microsoft Fax may load the wrong Faxcodec.dll file.
