Installing WinXP Pro over WinME

[Big Mac]

I have been attempting to upgrade from ME to XP Pro for some time. I have upgraded all of the software installed on my computer. I have uninstalled SystemWorks 2003. My problem now is during installation I get a message telling me that I have to remove
"Microsoft Shared Fax Client" using Add/Remove Programs. "Microsoft Shared Fax Client" does not appear under Add/Remove Programs. I have searched my hard drive to no avail. Can anyone help find this program or tell me how to continue installing Win XP P
ro?

Does this also apply to Win98se ?

I have the full version of XP Pro.

1. Open up My Computer.
2. Go to Tools, Folder Options.
3. Put a check in "Show hidden files and folders".
4. Click on Start, then Run.
5. Type in: CMD , and hit enter.
6. Type in: cd\ , then hit enter
7. Type in: dir fxsclnt.exe /s
(Remember what directory you found the file in)
8. Type in Exit.
9. Double click on My Computer.
10. Right-click on the C: drive and click on Explorer.
11. Find the directory that housed the fxsclnt.exe.
12. Delete the file and restart.

Now, you should be able to upgrade to Windows XP.
