Here's an Easy One!

[Treeman]

Can I get the printer & Fax Viewer to show up in a menu say, Start, Accessories, Communications?
If so How?
Thanks,
Treeman

Yes, that's exactly where it is at. If you do not have the Fax icon there,
go here:
Start>Control Panel>Add or Remove Programs>left pane click Add/remove
Windows Components>the second item should be Fax Services. Check it
and click Next, just follow the prompts to install it.

Hmmmm, Maybe I didn't explain this right,
I have the fax & picture viewer already installed. If I go and install the fax utility it says I need a dial-up modem, which I don't have. (broadband)
People at my office can send me faxes in an email attachment which the fax viewer opens. How would you send a fax via email? Is it a non-microsoft product perhaps?
Thanks,
Treeman

Windows Picture and Fax Viewer is simply a graphics app to view downloaded
graphics/documents/photos including Faxes. Yes, you can send a Fax in email
all you have to do is send it as an attachment or embed it in the body of the
email.

Correct.
I see the confusion here. All I saw was that the original poster was
trying to install the Windows XP Fax utilty without having a modem. In
fact, there was no need to install the fax utility at all since the user
was not even trying to send a fax, just email a graphic file.

Thanks Byte, Your all over it!
I see from the link Russ added the fax image is a native .tiff file. I can scan the document and use any app that supports the export of this file to make a fax. ( I use OE as my default mail client)
Thanks for the help guys.
