If you are talking about the Fax software in Windows XP, the installation of
the same is as follows:
Windows XP Fax is not installed by default and must be installed from
Control Panel > Add/Remove Windows Components. First, it is necessary that
you have an analog fax modem compatible with Windows XP Fax (see the Windows
XP Hardware Compatibility List) and an analog phone line.
If your installation of Windows XP was from a CD, you will be prompted to
insert the CD and may need to browse to the i386 Folder so the installation
routine can find the necessary files. If your installation files are on the
hard drive, you may need to direct the routine to the i386 Folder there. If
you have applied SP1, these files may have been moved to a different folder
(ServicePackFiles\i386), and you will need to direct the routine to that
folder.
If your installation was performed by an OEM (original equipment
manufacturer), it will be the responsibility of the OEM to supply those
files. Unfortunately, the installation disks supplied by many OEM's do not
contain the necessary files and you will need to contact the OEM to obtain
them. The fax installation files are not available to download from
Microsoft.
Once you have installed Faxes, launch Fax Console [Start->All
Programs->Accessories->Communications->Fax->Fax Console]. You will be
required to configure your Fax server first time you launch it. Once you are
done, you can send/receive faxes from the Fax Console.
