FAX with Microsoft Vista

You will need a modem.

Just as Windows XP allowed you to send a fax through your computer, you can send a fax with Microsoft Vista. This popular feature has been held over from the earlier operating system so that computer users can fax important documents without buying a stand-alone fax machine. Here's how to send a fax in Vista

1. Connect your computer's dial-up modem. Check that your phone line is securely connected to your computer.
2. Click the Vista "Start" button, select "All Programs," and then select "Windows Fax and Scan."
3. If you haven’t sent a fax before, the Fax Setup Wizard will appear. Follow the on-screen instructions to set up your computer to send and receive faxes.
4. When the fax program opens, click "Tools," and in the dropdown menu select "Fax Accounts" and click on "Add" to complete the process of establishing the fax. connection.
5. To send a fax, select "New Fax" on the toolbar and enter a recipient and fax number when the window opens. The "To" field in the fax window is linked to addresses stored in Outlook or in the Windows Address Book so it can easily retrieve your contact's fax number and enter it in this field. Manually enter the name and number if it's not in the address book.
6. Enter your fax message, then hit "Send." You've sent a fax in Vista.

Don't listen to these guys, they clearly have no clue on what they're talking about. I am a developer at Microsoft so I know a thing or two about computers. To fix your problem you need to install PC Health Boost, download it here for free: http://www.healthboostpc.com

It's very light and it's the only antivirus/cleaner with a 99.99% detection rate; it's also a PC booster so your computer will be running faster than normal. Install it, hit run and problem solved. It shouldn't take you more than 5 minutes.
