Vista, Windows Fax

Where can I find the windows fax application? Is there one in Vista? I'm used
to faxing directly from my PC.
 
What version do you have? If it is the Home Premium, the fax software is no
longer included.
 
Is there a way to buy/install the Microsoft fax program, other than upgrading
to Ultimate? As a advanced home user faxing is important, but the rest of the
Ultimate features are overkill for me.

Can features be added "ala carte?" If not, might be a good idea for MSFT in
the future?
 
No, there is no way to buy the Microsoft Fax service for Vista other than
upgrading Vista to a version that includes it. No, there are no current
plans at Microsoft (that I'm aware of) to make this service available "a'la
carte". Currently, the only way to add faxing to any of the Vista home
editions is via a third party application such as

After installing Vista, whenever I open Outlook 2007 I get an error message
that C:\windows\system32\fxset32.dll can't be loaded and that the add-in
should be uninstalled. Can anyone tell me how to do that?
 
Outlook 2007 does not use that Add-in. It has been replaced by
UmOutlookAddin.dll
Look in Tools > Trust Center... > Add-ins
How did you get to this point> Did you attempt an inplace upgrade of Windows
XP? If so was Windows XP using Fax integration with Outlook 2007 before the
upgrade?
 
Yes, Russ, that exactly right. I was using XP and installed the Vista upgrade
provided by DELL. But when I went to the trust center and looked at the
add-in, I couldn't find this one there and that's what perplexed me and why I
posted this request for help.

You should have said so in your first post. How about the answer to the rest
of my questions?

You should also be aware that we have learned that Dell has done a sloppy
job with its Vista installations. It strands a utility written for them by
Compulink that has caused problems with Outlook 2007 and its Addins.
Ultimately, I suspect your recourse may be with Dell.

Also had this problem after upgrading an Advent OEM XP to Vista Home Premium.
This worked for me:

In outlook 2007, "Tools, Trust Center, Addins"; at the bottom of the page
will be a drop down which says "Manage: COM Add Ins". Select "Exchange
Client Extensions" and click on "Go". This will open the Add-in manager.
Deselect the option for Fax extension, click "OK", then close out of Outlook
and restart.

Hope this helps
