Guest Richard15 Posted August 21, 2007 Posted August 21, 2007 Hi all, I hope this question finds all doing fairly well. I had terrible time try to install clean copy of Vista Business. I finally wiped my hard drive clean again and reinstalled Window XP Home edition, which has a weak crummy fax program. One can only send a cover sheet with no following pages. I would like to upgrade to XP Professional if it had full true fax program. Does anyone know if it does? Thanks in advance. -- RICHARD
Guest Gary S. Terhune Posted August 21, 2007 Posted August 21, 2007 Re: Up grade to get full true fax program?? Home Edition's FAX is the same as that in Pro. If you don't like it, get a different FAX program. Hell, even if Pro's WAS better, you can get a decent faxing program for a lot less money than a Pro upgrade! -- Gary S.

The Fax Service prints as many pages as you send to it. Learn to use the Fax printer (i.e., *print* your document from whatever application you are using and select to use the Fax printer). If you want better faxing software, you'll have to get it separately as a 3rd party product. The Fax Service is what you get in WinXP Pro. Actually, I didn't think it was included in the Home version but maybe you can installed it separately from the install CD.

I can't answer your question, since I don't fax from my computer. But I'll point out that you can buy a stand-alone fax machine on sale for much less than the cost of XP Professional (mine was $20), and I think it's much more convenient. -- Ken Blake - Microsoft MVP Windows: Shell/User Please reply to the newsgroup
Guest Richard15 Posted August 21, 2007 Posted August 21, 2007 RE: Up grade to get full true fax program?? Thanks all for responded. There sure is a lot kind folks willing to share their intellectual property :-). Yes, I know about the send property of 'File' only I would rather not go through a third pary. Seems like society already knows hoW many sheets of tp I use, no sense giving them anymore... but then again, I stopped worring once for five minutes but then started worring to why I wasn't worrying. :-) It was with Windows 98, that windows fax program I could fax many pages. And, I think that Office 2000(?) had a good fax program too. Anyway, I nice Canon Fax Machine... I did pay more than 20 bucks though... could've paid a so lot more though. Gadgets, hun?

Symantec has "retired" (aka: dropped) WinFAX. They are not supporting it anymore.

It's an inexpensive program ($20, I think) that has a fax printer (for faxing word documents) and a scan to fax for scanning documents with your scanner to fax. I'm using it with XP Pro right now and they might have a vista version, but I'm not sure. You can check on http://www.rkssoftware.com/mightyfax/overview.html. Patty
