Cannot Import/View Windows XP OR Vista x86 Past Fax Files
I am using Vista x86 RC1 build 5600. Have used Win XP since it came out. I
make frequent use of the fax facility in both OS's. I have many historical SEND and RECEIVE files from XP and getting a few in Vista. Due to my monkeying with the Vista installation (hardware and software installs and uninstalls), I have uninstalled and reinstalled Vista x86 RC1 several times. I am noticing that I cannot import past files and have them seen in the current install of the Vista Fax/Scan application. I copy from my historical files from my backups into the "Fax Archives" and into the folder called "C:\Users\Donald Mills\Documents\Fax", to no avail. They are not viewable. They do not show in the Vista Scan/Fax application window. Only the faxes generated (sent/received) in CURRENT INSTALL are viewable. The odd thing here is that it does not matter whether the "old" fax files were generated in Win Xp or Vista. The old files just are not viewable in the "current" install of Scan/Fax. Only the faxes generated (sent/received) in CURRENT INSTALL are viewable. Has anyone seen this??? -- Donald Mills

You know we all have. Haven't we had this conversation before?

Cannot Import/View Windows XP OR Vista x86 Past Fax Files
Yeah we have. I just couldn't find the past correspondence and was wondering
if anything has come of it. Don't mean to offend. You sound a little terse. Has a fix been found for the commercial release of Vista? Just curious... -- Donald Mills "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: You know we all have.

Cannot Import/View Windows XP OR Vista x86 Past Fax Files
Also, when I first asked about this, I was trying to bring in Win XP files. I
have since noticed that the files made with the Vista Scan/Fax program also do not come into a later installation of Vista Scan/Fax. Maybe I'm just being slow, but I thoght this might be interesting information. Sorry to bother you... -- Donald Mills "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: You know we all have.

Cannot Import/View Windows XP OR Vista x86 Past Fax Files
No bother. I was just trying to remember whether I'd already answered this
before. The answer is unchanged. It's being considered for a Power Toy or update, but it was too late to change anything for RTM. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Mills Architect" wrote in message ...

Cannot Import/View Windows XP OR Vista x86 Past Fax Files
Thanks for the note back. I look every so often at topics. Appreciate the
fact of Vista release timing and all. I guess my only thought really was that I hadn't realized that the problem showed no matter whether the historical files were generated in Win XP Fax or Vista Fax. The only files that show in Vista Fax are those SENT or RECEIVED in the current install of Vista Fax. I had assumed that it was associated with bringing Win Xp files in. Not past Vista installs too. I would think that there is a way to re-assciate the past fax files to the current Vista Fax application. I'm just wondering... -- Donald Mills "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: No bother.

Cannot Import/View Windows XP OR Vista x86 Past Fax Files
Sorry to be a little bit getting back. Thanksgiving and all. Hope yours was
good!!! I'll show a little ignorance... what is "WET?" I simply copied (CRTL C) the files from backups and pasted into the directories I mentioned. What is "WET?" Is this something that may be an answer or work around? Explain what it is and how to use it. I'll be happy to give it a whirl and see. Seems like the files need to be re-associated with the fax progrm. Or something like that. Thanks for bearing with me... -- Donald Mills "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: What method did you use?
