I can't fax with Win2k and Office 2k. When I select my file to fax by hitting print and then fax driver. the wizard pops up and i run through the steps and then click fax, but then winword.exe closes due to errors. the same with other programs like excel and powerpoint.

I am running Windows 2000 Pro with SP1.

XP + Profiles... + Management?

STILL problems with USB dying randomly.

Never had this problem on any SP, have you tryed installing fax printer drivers again, or to repair the office installation if it crashes on other occasions as well.

I installed an old copy of Winfax 8.0 on 2k and it handles my faxing quite nicely, still don't understand Win2k's problem, but will try out your suggestions.

Compatibility does not have anything to do with it.
Fax is standard apllication it is just emulating com port as a printer.
And since winfax works with the same drivers it is fine. I would still put my money in to office.
Have you tryed faxing something like a graphic file or a txt file?

Keyword here is the winmodem.
As you now they are SW modem's.
However it sshould have worked no matter. Their installation is a bit dodgy as you know. You might not even notice drivers are corrupt etc.
Have you tryed reinstalling it?

My modem is Win2k and Winxp compatible, it is a Lucent 56k V.90 board, it is actually manufactured by Lucent I think as it doesn't have another company stamp on it. Usually Lucent just provided the chipset.

Himm, You are next then.
You probably tryed it but new drivers? Or a new cheap modem.
I mean they go as low as GBP£8.50 at the moment.
Intel Ambient ones .
And I know they work with Winfax.
Updateing the Winfax might also be a solution...
