Hi, I am trying to configure Windows Fax and Scan to use our phone service long distance carrier. I used to have Winfax and found that adding three 'pauses' after dialling the long distance carrier number and before entering the fax number to be called, did the trick.

I changed out my CPU and now I get error messages whenever I try to access or play media on Vista 64. Also can't use my Pinnacle HD stick 800e in Media Center and can not access my Zune software at all. I understand that this is a DRM related problem. When I switched out the CPU, Vista apparently lost track of who I was and will not allow me to configure network sharing, or media sharing....

Using a Ricoh Memory Stick Disk in the card reader has no problem - the driver for this works fine.
