Re: [WIN7] Windows FAX and Scan (WFS)
• After testing trying various things, I think that I might have a corrupt user profile.
• I login with a different account and everything works fine.
• I created another account for me and tested that one and it works fine.
• I renamed my user account under C:\users\myname. I then went into the registry and deleted my SID. Reboot.
• Under my new account, I moved all the data from my old account (except the system files) to my new account. Reboot.
• Login with my new account and it does not work again. Same error message.
Anyone have a clue as to what is going on here?

The "fix" usually works in Vista for the same error and should also work in Windows 7.
The problem may have occurred as a result of using "Windows Easy Transfer" or upgrading a previous Windows install. |

| Yes, I used the WET when I went from Vista to Win 7.
It did not create a new account. Same error message.
The instructions say to "turn off WFS". Does that mean to uninstall it or just make sure it is not running??

1 edit | Just make sure WFS is not running so you are able to delete the Fax account that was ported using Windows Easy Transfer. |

Las Vegas, NV | It is not running.
Logged in with another account that worked before. It ran fine.
However no new account was made under the registry key.

| said by Irish Shark  :However no new account was made under the registry key. Make sure "Windows Fax and Scan" is not running.
Then, open services.msc and "Stop" the Fax service.
Open an "elevated" "Windows Fax and Scan".
Check the registry key that the Fax account was created. |
