SYMPTOMS
When you are trying to use a MAPI-aware program, such as Microsoft Fax, you may receive the following error messages:

C:\Windows\System\AWSNTO32.EXE - A device attached to the system is not functioning

The AWFXCG32.DLL file is linked to missing export MAPI32.DLL:23



CAUSE
This behavior can occur if the Mapi32.dll file that is required by Microsoft programs is replaced with a proprietary version by another MAPI program such as Netscape Messenger.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, disable Netscape Messenger as the exclusive MAPI program:
 * 1) Start Netscape Messenger.
 * 2) On the Edit menu, click Preferences.
 * 3) Click Mail and Newsgroups.
 * 4) Click to clear the Use Netscape Messenger from MAPI-based applications check box.

This method was applied with Netscape version 4.7. This method may apply to other versions of Netscape.
