Where is Vista Fax Console

AuthorizedUserPF · External Since: Jul 09, 2007 Posts: 9

In XP I had fax console. Where is it in Vista. I have been all through the
program files and don't see it. Does this self install with the installation
of Vista, or must I add it from the installation DVD.
There also seems to be something called windows fax and scan, but Ican't
find that either.
Please advise

It's not included with Vista Home Basic or Home Premium.

I don't know... I have Home Premium.... ;-(

In XP, it was one of the Windows extras..

I'd look in
Start - Control Panel - Programs and Features -
Turn Windows Features on or off

I allways used the fax program in XP and needless to say I was quite upset
when I found out it wasn't included in any with Vista OS except the
Professional series.

Vista does not recognise a number of printer software such as a fax so
rather than pay 100's of dollars for the upgrade I searched and found a
compatible program

I finally found a Vista compatible Fax program for about $30 called Snappy
Fax 4.0 you can try it for free for 30 days before purchasing a license a
full working version that is go to http://www.snappysoftware.com/

Windows Fax and Scan should be listed in the top list of programs on the Start
Menu > All Programs. Or type Windows Fax and Scan in the Start Search box above
the Start Orb, right click on the entry at the top and select "Open file
location": You can also right click and select "Pin to Start Menu".

C:\Windows\System32\WFS.exe
