Windows fax & scan - Vista Business.
Hello I have been trying to utilise Windows fax and scan on a Vista Business x32 machine. When I try and add an account and set the programme up: Tools- Fax accounts- Add- Connect to fax modem- Enter name- Next- It says "the mentioned fax server is not available. Please correct the server name and try again". I have tried the following modems in this machine: Zoom 3030 PCI modem Broadcom BCM94212/I PCI modem Intel 537EPG PCI modem Conexant D850 PCI modem US Robotics USR2884B PCI modem I have used all the above modems on a Vista Premium with "Essential Fax" third party programme with no problems. Are all these modems incompatable, or am I experiencing a problem with Vista. Alternatively, can anybody recomend a modem they are using? -- dddppp

Windows fax & scan - Vista Business.
When you go to Tools Fax Accounts, the next dialog box will show you any
compatible fax modems that are recognized by the operating system. Do any of these appear? The error message means WFS can't find a modem so is searching for a network fax modem. The VHCL list will tell you which modems are compatible. -- Russ Valentine "dddppp" wrote in message ... Hello I have been trying to utilise Windows fax and scan on a Vista Business x32 machine.

Windows fax & scan - Vista Business.
Windows Fax has been a source of much grief. Why don't you go with your
successes and use "Essential Fax" again? "Essential Fax" third party programme with no problems."
