I am using Vista Home Premium and it does not seem to have the Fax service
installed, how can I install it myself?
 
The Fax & Scanner program that was in XP is not included in Vista Home.
If you search the posts in this newsgroup, you will see other posters buying
& using programs like VueScan or SnappyFax.
 
You can't. A quick scan of this group would have turned up countless posts
that tell you that Vista Home no longer includes the fax module, nor is it
available separately. Apparently, Microsoft's marketers felt that only
Business, Enterprise and Ultimate users would need a basic, standalone fax
utility. In reality, it was primarily the Home users who ever used this
program, not the business users. It would be nice if Microsoft listened to
its users instead of its marketers. World peace would be nice, too. Both
seem equally likely.
 
Seems like one should be able to copy the Microsoft fax program
from an Ultimate installation to a Home Premium installation.
