In the application section of my Event Viewer (running XP), I've got a whole load of Microsoft Fax Initialization/Termination yellow warning signs.   When I open the event, it says

The outgoing routing rule is not valid because it cannot find a valid device. The outgoing faxes that use this rule will not be routed. Verify that the targeted device or devices (if routed to a group of devices) is connected and installed correctly, and TURNED on. If routed to a group, verify that the group is CONFIGURED correctly. Country/region code: '*' Area code: '*'

Why WOULD I be getting these WARNINGS?  It's a new computer (a few weeks old) and I haven't installed any fax software or hardware, nor am I attempting to fax anything.   The warnings seem to be listed every 30 minutes or so

ThanksGo into Services, stop the Fax Service & SET it to manual.Thanks.  Not sure how that got turned on as I'm told it's off by default and I've never touched Services before.  However, that did the trick.
