Fax & Word Crash

R

Ronald K

Before re-building my system everything worked...

With a clean install of Windows XP-sp2+ (to replace a crashed oem install),
and with a newly installed Norton Systemworks 2005, Word 2002 (updated)
crashes when I print to the Windows fax driver. At first (after the clean
install), the system would also spontaneously restart during or immediately
after a fax send. I suspected an old modem driver and updated this. The
system doesn't seem to be re-starting now, but Word still crashes.

Event Application Viewer error line gives Source: Microsoft Office 10, with
detail: "Faulting application winword.exe, version 10.0.6612.0, faulting
module winword.exe, version 10.0.6612.0, fault address 0x0001737c" error.

A second line gives Source: Microsoft Office 10, with detail: "Fault bucket
91001828."


A third lines gives Source: Application Hang, with detail: "Hanging
application WINWORD.EXE, version 10.0.6612.0, hang module hungapp, version
0.0.0.0, hang address 0x00000000."

A fourth line gives Source: Application Hang, with detail: "Fault bucket
86121004."

Associated with this behavior is a Norton AntiVirus dialog upon opening the
fax client, which happens automatically when a document is printed to fax
(the fax wizard): "Security Altert: Norton Internet Worm Protection has
detected and blocked an intrusion attempt...Security rule: Default Block
Netspy Trojan horse...Path: %Windows%\system32\fxclnt.exe."

Apparently Norton thinks the fax client is a security problem. An obscure
Norton knowledge base article gives instructions for eliminating a trojan
horse rule for this problem with their stand-alone Firewall application.
However, Systemworks has no such tweakability that I can find.

Can anyone advise regarding this situation? Symantec docs are no help at
this juncture.

Hi Dian,
Thanks for the response.

I knew of the Norton AV Office Plug-In problem and had already unchecked it.

I know longer am experiencing this problem (for now). I updated the modem
driver, and I switched fax services. (The old one had some kind of hook into
the Fax Client).

At any rate, all is well. Thanks!

Regards,
Ron
