I recently rolled out Rightfax 9.4 to a client that uses novell as their default email client. When they open up Faxutil, they receive the following error:
“Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request. Please run Microsoft Office Outlook and set it as the default mail client.”
1. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CLIENTS\MAIL.
2. Find key called PreFirstRun.
3. Rename this value to “PreFirstRun.Renamed”.
4. Close the Registry Editor. The error should no longer occur.
Once I have done this, the error stopped and everyone was happy! Oh silly Rightfax and Microsoft for making your products act so retarded!
