Ever since MS Automatic Update installed the tun Miniport Adapter #2 my fax
has not worked. According to the error report (error 31), there is no modem
installed. (What is a tun Miniport Adapter/What does it do ????)

I have tried::
::updating the modem driver
::UN-INSTALL the fax through add programs
::RE-INSTALL the fax through add programs
::ran rundll32.exe adv.....etc to run ProcessIdleTasks
::looked at the running services (SERVICES.MSC) to see if I can disable or
stop the FAX service. Says "STOPPING"
::edited the registry and removed any reference to FAX
::deleted all FXS*.* files from the system32 directory.
::remove the update (KB886185) (tun Miniport Adapter) through Add/Remove
progs. But this will remove 6/7 other updates
::
NOTHING WORKS - PLEASE HELP, I rely on the fax facility.

This miniport adapter appears to be part of Internet Protocol version 6.
I've found two methods which appear to deal with it, both are listed in this
thread:
