I seen that it was said that it dose not come with a fax, so why dose mine
say that it has one installed, and when go to properties says is working
right and enabled and ready? Am really comfussed now. It is listed in system
info as being there.

As has already been pointed out in this thread, Vista Home Premium doesn't

You have a fax MODEM... that's not the same thing as a fax PROGRAM.
