Summary: Don't buy Winfax
Review: Absolutely useless. Causes word to lock. Will not uninstall. Symantec fixes don't work. Hours wasted. Don't buy this product.

Summary: Good for average user. Power user beware!
Review: Although I am working around the vast amount of bugs this program carries with it, it does deliver faxes ok. The client/server functionality sucks. The areacode rules are supposed to be set on the server however for some starnage reason they do not work. KB articles on symantecs site only confuse things. HORRIBLE support of this product. I am looking elsewhere for a solution.

Summary: WinFax 10.0 not for XP
Review: Amazon states that 10.0 will work with Windows XP. Version 10.02 is required according to Symantec's own website.

Summary: The great XP hoax
Review: Billed as XP-compliant, I got WinFax 10.02 to work with Win XP Pro and Office XP last year, although it was such a headache to set it up it nearly drove me around the bend. THEN I got a new computer, upgraded to Office 2003, and entered a whole new world of pain. Not only does WinFax 10.02 crash multiple times when installing and registering, it also crashes anytime I attempt to send a fax, crashing Opera, Outlook, and any other Office application I might have up. It is the first program I have ever encountered that even manages to crash the Task Manager, which I thought was impossible. Every re-boot is a new experience in which program or piece of hardware won't work. That was before trying to re-establish network faxing from computers that, until now, had done it fine with WinFax 10.02. Now - somehow - it has screwed up my own computer so much that it crashes other computers on the network whenever they try to send something through the new (host) computer. Frustrated beyond belief, I tried to uninstall it, but apparently when it crashed during installation, it didn't create an uninstall file and has no "uninstall" function on the CD-ROM. The only way to get this monstrosity off of my computer was to do a system restore for a couple of days ago. That worked, but now I have to reinstall all of the software I have spent the last two days installing and configuring. Don't waste your time, money, or sanity on this misleading product.

Summary: This is a terrible program!
Review: Check anywhere for reviews and they are almost always terrible! You are pushed into this expensive upgrade to run XP, but eventually find out that it doesn't work with your programs anyway, such as trying to mailmerge with Act! or Outlook! It is full of bugs if you succeed in installing it! Technical service says they've never heard of these problems that have been posted on their boards forever. Act! (Interstate Commerce) recommends other software that DOES work like FaxNow and OneManBand. Be very careful, as there are a lot of people out of the faxing business because of this program!

Summary: Buyer beware!
Review: Could not get the software to work, no customer support line and of course no refunds. Tried Winfax's fax on demand to test software. Finally received the requested fax on the stand alone fax machine purchased THE FOLLOWING WEEK. What a waste!

Summary: Quite possibly the worst piece of software ever written
Review: I bought this software and installed it on one of my customers machines, I set up a special computer to be a "fax server" to recieve faxes and organize them into different folders, strangely the WinFax will randomly reject faxes, somedays it will refuse to work, somedays it will work great, somedays it will reject 50%, who knows what mood its in. I reformatted the computer so that the only thing installed is Win98 and WinFax, I replaced the modem TWICE, my customer moved to a new office in a different building with a completely different phone line and the product still doesn't work. Total garbage.

Summary: Horrible Program, Horrible Support
Review: I bought this...thing.... loaded it up. tried to fax a Word document. There is no easy attachment icon, such as in Bitware.
Then, when I tried to open a letter using Explorer, it wouldn't open my program! It read error in VBE6.dll, whatever the hell that means.
So I went thru the maze of the Symantec support department...they wanted [$$] per instance for tech support.
There are so many warnings and problems with this program, I deleted the damn thing. You are better off buying a fax machine. If you can return this piece of dreck, do it. If you can't, return their "favor" by writing a review.
I am so angry!!!!!!

Summary: BIG WARNING !!!
Review: I bought WinFax 10.0 and installed it on my pc only to have it CRASH my microsoft word program. I had to re-load my "word" software ( luckily I still had the c/d ) afterwords the WinFax program worked ok and was fairly easy to figure out but my friend wanted to get WinFax for his pc ..... but I told him to buy a new c/d instead of borrowing mine because I figured my c/d must have just had some type of error on it to crash my "word" program. My friend went ahead and bought new WinFax software, installed it on his pc and the WinFax software CRASHED HIS ENTIRE SYSTEM, corrupting his hard drive with a message on the screen reading:" 7220 imminent corruption on hard drive FAILER".
we tried to remove the WinFax from his pc....but we had no luck, anytime we would try to open up any program or any files, even internet explorer the pc would just freeze, even typing " ctrl/alt/delete" wouldn't help. The phone support #'s for Winfax are busy all the time and the secondary #'s just ring off the hook. ....
