On computers that have an internal fax modem about 6 months ago they started
receiving the below error message. This error must have been caused by a
Microsoft patch because nothing else has changed. These modems have Windows
XP drivers and the fax modem software is XP compatible.

The error is:

Windows 3.1 Compatible Fax Driver
Unable to start WOW. Verify the ability to run a Win 16 application and
retry.
 
Check the modem manu, to see if they have updated drivers?
I use a usr internal which had previous problems that seemed to have been
cured by updating driver from usr
