Hi adrian and George.
I can get the number to dial from the address book fine. it's just some of
the boxes I get up afterwards that seem to cause an issue.
I find a phonecall box pops up that I can not close for a start and I get
told the call has not connected even though the number has been dialed.
Cheers
graham

You also seem to be able to instigate a call from within the windows
address book - address book, tools, actions, dial.
Can use a number stored in the address book or lets you enter it at this
stage.
Once you have entered a number and clicked ok you get a dial open with a
"call" button which I guess you have to click to actualy dial, this
however seems to disappear after a quite short time although you may be
able to change that. There also seem to by dailer options which allow
you to select preferred devices lines etc so guess it may be a case of
ensuring things are configured properly and possibly I guess you may
need to have a direct connection between the pc and phone line other
than the broadband router or modem if using broadband but here I really
am just guessing.

How Do I Get Phone Dialer To Work In Windows XP
By default Phone Dialer is not added to the communication menu.
Therefore unless you know where to find it your immediate assumption is
that Windows XP no longer uses Phone Dialer. As you can see, from the
instructions below, Phone Dialer is alive and kicking. It's just keeping
itself well and truely under wraps!
To Run Phone Dialer
1/ Click the Start button
2/ From the Start menu click Run
3/ In the Run dialog box type: dialer.exe and press Enter
4/ The dialer application will now open
Adding Phone Dialer to the Communication Menu
1/ Click the Start button
2/ From the Start menu click All Programs followed by Accessories
3/ From the Accessories drop down menu click on Windows Explorer
4/ In Windows Explorer click on the drive/partition your Windows XP is
installed on. This is usually C:
5/ Navigate to Documents and Settings\All Users\Start
Menu\Programs\Accessories\Communications
6/ Click File on the main Windows Explorer toolbar
7/ From the drop down menu click New and then click Shortcut
8/ The shortcut wizard will now open
9/ In the shortcut dialog box type: c:\program <file:///c:/program>
files\windows nt\dialer.exe
10/ Click Next
11/ The 'type a name for this shortcut' dialog box now appears
12/ Type: Phone Dialer
13/ Now click Finish
14/ Phone Dialer should now appear on the Communications menu

Hi all.
I have a client who wants to use his ordinary phone but dial out using
the computer. This worked quite well with windows 98. He just went to
the address book in Outlook Express, pressed alt t to go to the tools
menu and I for the actions sub menu and d for dial.
He got a box confirming the number he wanted to dial and pressed enter.
Once the number he called had been dialed he just picked up the phone
and carried on talking.
now he gets a dialog called phonecall that says the call failed and you
can only exit this with the mouse or using jaws cursor to find the close
button. I am using windows XP service pack 2.
Can anyone give advice about what they would use for dialing numbers
with the PC?
Regards
Graham
