Removing WinFax Pro from Windows for Troubleshooting

MORE INFORMATION

WinFax Pro 2.0 and WinFax Lite make the following changes in the WIN.INI file:

• Adding a [winfax] section.
• Adding an entry in the [printerports] and [devices] sections for the WinFax printer driver.
• Adding the following two entries in the [windows] section:

        device=WINFAX,WINFAX,COM1:
        DelrinaAppInstalled=Yes
  						

WinFax Pro 3.0 makes two additional changes to the WIN.INI file:

• Adding a [wfxpblinks] section.
• Adding an [anyfax] section.

The SYSTEM.INI file is not changed unless the COMM.DRV is changed to accommodate a 16550 UART or the COMxFIFO setting is changed in the [386Enh] section to disable FIFO buffering. The COMxFIFO setting is ignored unless the serial port has a 16550 UART.

NOTE: If the COMM.DRV changed, it equals WFXCOMM.DRV. In this case, comment out the line by adding a semicolon to its beginning, and then insert a new line with the setting COMM.DRV=COMM.DRV.

You can comment out all these changes by adding a semicolon before each line that contains WinFax Pro information, including any section headers in brackets.
