Have you got a built in modem?

Have a go at this:

I only discovered after I upgraded to Vista that the "Fax Console" program that was in XP is only in Vista Business. I had to buy a seperate fax program and got one called SnappyFax which I am happy with.

Oh, really easy.

First search for a folder called i386. That'll be where the installation files are kept.

Secondly,
Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs, Add/Remove Windows components. Click on Fax and it MAY ask you for the location of the i386 folder which you should have.

then it opens lots of mini folder
which one do i use??
