Somewhere along the way, I am missing the Windows Vista Fax and Scan. How
can I download or what file is it on the software?

If you have a home version of Vista, you won't find it. It's only included
with
Business and Ultimate versions. You'll have to seek out a third party
version.

Tom,

I had it previously on my computer w/Home Premium.

No, you didn't. As Mr. Lake said, Windows Fax and Scan is not included
in the Home Basic/Premium versions of Vista. You may have had a faxing
program included with printer software.

If you have Vista Home Basic/Premium and you want to fax from your
computer, you will need a third-party faxing program that is compatible
with Vista.

No, they just don't think they need to give it away free anymore since it's
not part of an operating system. They re-thought their bundling offerings.

I thought finally I would get myself A NEW laptop.So instead of a Mac which I
have always I had I figured I would give Windows a chance. So I have a Vista
laptop. I looked for the faxing software to send a fax and thought I was
going crazy. Windows was able to in the past. They don't have fax on Vista.
What in the world are they thinking? With all the problems I have heard about
it. I am sorry I went to Microsoft. I think instead of going backwards they
should go forwards. retain an obvious useful function. Common sense is that
it should still be on the machine.

FAX not available in Vista Home Basic Premium. It is available in Ultimate,
Extreme and Business.

You might consider Snappy Fax at a slight cost:
http://www.snappysoftware.com/

or the Free version from BVRP:
http://www.usr.com/bvrp/bvrp.asp

or a full BVRP Classic Phone Tools 9: $29.90
http://www.shop.avanquest.com/usa/pr...S_CPT_homepage


I’ve used all of these. Snappy fax screen look a bit crude but the product
actually is fairly feature rich and works fine. BVRP also works fine,
screen looks a little better. Other than that, there are minor differences
in performance between the two.
