Windows Forum / Windows Vista / Printing and Faxing / March 2007Cannot Import/View Windows XP OR Vista x86 Past Fax Files
I am using Vista x86 RC1 build 5600. Have used Win XP since it came out. I make frequent use of the fax facility in both OS's. I have many historical SEND and RECEIVE files from XP and getting a few in Vista. Due to my monkeying with the Vista installation (hardware and software installs and uninstalls), I have uninstalled and reinstalled Vista x86 RC1 several times. I am noticing that I cannot import past files and have them seen in the current install of the Vista Fax/Scan application. I copy from my historical files from my backups into the "Fax Archives" and into the folder called "C:\Users\Donald Mills\Documents\Fax", to no avail. They are not viewable. They do not show in the Vista Scan/Fax application window. Only the faxes generated (sent/received) in CURRENT INSTALL are viewable. The odd thing here is that it does not matter whether the "old" fax files were generated in Win Xp or Vista. The old files just are not viewable in the "current" install of Scan/Fax. Only the faxes generated (sent/received) in CURRENT INSTALL are viewable. Has anyone seen this???  SignatureDonald Mills You know we all have. Haven't we had this conversation before?

Don't mean to offend. You sound a little terse. Has a fix been found for the commercial release of Vista? Just curious... SignatureDonald Mills > You know we all have.

Also, when I first asked about this, I was trying to bring in Win XP files. I have since noticed that the files made with the Vista Scan/Fax program also do not come into a later installation of Vista Scan/Fax. Maybe I'm just being slow, but I thoght this might be interesting information. Sorry to bother you... SignatureDonald Mills > You know we all have.

I was just trying to remember whether I'd already answered this before. The answer is unchanged. It's being considered for a Power Toy or update, but it was too late to change anything for RTM.

Thanks for the note back. I look every so often at topics. Appreciate the fact of Vista release timing and all. I guess my only thought really was that I hadn't realized that the problem showed no matter whether the historical files were generated in Win XP Fax or Vista Fax. The only files that show in Vista Fax are those SENT or RECEIVED in the current install of Vista Fax. I had assumed that it was associated with bringing Win Xp files in. Not past Vista installs too. I would think that there is a way to re-assciate the past fax files to the current Vista Fax application. I'm just wondering... SignatureDonald Mills > No bother.

I'll show a little ignorance... what is "WET?" I simply copied (<CRTL> C) the files from backups and pasted into the directories I mentioned. What is "WET?" Is this something that may be an answer or work around? Explain what it is and how to use it. I'll be happy to give it a whirl and see. Seems like the files need to be re-associated with the fax progrm. Or something like that. Thanks for bearing with me... SignatureDonald Mills > What method did you use?

I have Ultimate. Like it! Reading past fax files still acting same though. Has there been any power tool or other to enable bringing in 'old' fax files? Just curious... ---------------- >I am using Vista x86 RC1 build 5600. Have used Win XP since it came out. I > make frequent use of the fax facility in both OS's.

Not nagging. Just noticed my old notes when reading thru and was curious. i am really liking Vista. Thanks for nice product!!! SignatureDonald Mills > Not so far.

Just curious if there is any "tool" yet to bring past fax files into a current install of Windows Fax/Scan. Otherwise, except for the pesky "Windows Search Protocol Host has stopped working" when I have Outlook 2007 open for longer than 10-15 mins, I really am pleased with Vista (x86 Ultimate) and MS Office 2007 Pro. I worked with the betas of both from pre RC1 days, and these programs are now solid (kindof hinky at the though, so I am appreciative of where things are!!!). Thanks!!! DMills > Just a follow-up.

No. Still being considered for a Power Toy type add-in. SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] > Not to nag.

Thanks for the note back. By the way, I'm not sure where to post or find out anything about the continual "Windows Search Protocol Host has stopped working" thing. Surely, I'm not the only one this happens to. I would just like to... - Find out how to fix it. - Figure out what settings need to set to what. - Even just find where to post and look for help. I appreciate any help, advice, direction, etc. Again, thanks for all...

Thanks for being good about responding. Have a great weekend...

Sent plea for help to file management. Been great. I see where you were there too. Dave Wood has been wonderful. Honetly, just knowing that there is actually a problem vs something weird I'm doing (may still be some there, but not as much I think). Anyway, thanks again for your help!!!

The Outlook developers are taking a look at this too. New features are always "two steps forward, one step back" for a while. Hopefully it will all be ironed out soon.
