Aptiva - Mwave is not recognized properly by FaxWorks Pro 3.0D

Applicable to: United States

FaxWorks Pro 3.0D does not work correctly on 21xx-Mxx, Axx, or Cxx Aptiva machines. It incorrectly identifies the Mwave as a CAS modem.

To fix this problem, please use the below steps.
1. Go to a DOS Prompt.
2. At 'C' prompt, type 'edit autoexec.bat'. This will bring up editor showing contents of autoexec.bat file.
3. Find the line 'C:\LAUNCHPD\KIDSTSR.COM'. Put a REM in front of this line. The line should look like this:
REM C:\LAUNCHPD\KIDSTSR.COM

4. Then Edit the Faxworks.ini file. This is in the Window's Directory.
Example: "Edit c:\windows\faxworks.ini"
5. Find the line 'Priority Fax=1', change to 'Priority Fax=0'.
6. Restart your computer.
