Windows Forum / Windows Vista / Setup and Deployment / May 2008Windows Vista Fax and Scan
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 Mah > In XP I had fax console. Where is it in Vista. I have been all > through the program files and don't see it.

Windows Vista - What happened to Fax Console? http://tinyurl.com/yvchjo or... http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/Help/c54448ec-b3ec-4fab-ad6b-fe24 abe5346b1033.mspx Windows Vista - Windows Fax and Scan http://tinyurl.com/2ek48o or... http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/windowsvista/features/details/faxscan.mspx  SignatureJohn Inzer Digital Media MVP Notice This is not tech support I am a volunteer Solutions that work for me may not work for you Proceed at your own risk Fax and scan is NOT in Home Premium; it is in Business and Ultimate. Try snapppyfax or BVRP_phonetools. Better yet, get an All-in-one; no fax software needed. > In XP I had fax console. Where is it in Vista.

If not and you are running only Home or Premium then Fax is not available to you. The fax option is available in Business, Enterprise and Ultimate only. If you are running Vista Home or premium you will need to look for a third party fax application.

You might consider Snappy Fax at a slight cost: http://www.snappysoftware.com/ or the Free version from BVRP: http://www.usr.com/bvrp/bvrp.asp or a full BVRP Classic Phone Tools 9: $29.90 http://www.shop.avanquest.com/usa/prod.php?pid=847&tr1=AQ_US_WS_CPT_homepage I’ve used all of these. Snappy fax screen look a bit crude but the product actually is fairly feature rich and works fine. BVRP also works fine, screen looks a little better. Other than that, there are minor differences in performance between the two. SignatureRegards, BobF. > In XP I had fax console. Where is it in Vista.

Control Panel -> Programs -> Programs and Features -> Turn Windows features on or off Check the box for Windows Fax and Scan, then click OK. > In XP I had fax console. Where is it in Vista.
