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??

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

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.

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.
