Re-installing Fax support

Let's see here. First you tell me to "kiss your a..." Then you tell me to go
to church. I must have missed the Beatitude that starts "Blessed are those
who curse at others..."

Thanks Cari, Russ, Hal,
I can appreciate your frustration, but if you put yourself in a position
where you are trying to help others, (really doesn't matter where) patience
is something that you need to have plenty of. In my original post, I may
have been vague, but also just spent the last 10 hours upgrading to Vista
Premium using Dell supplied upgrade materials, going through issues with
bluetooth, my wireless card, sound drivers, and all kinds of other issues. I
still have a few that I'm working out. I posted here hoping someone could
shed some light on the situation and I got:

"Please post a more complete and coherent question. You have posted a maze of
operating systems and fax services no one could possibly decipher. Nicely
done." (or in other words.... )
From Russ. In my original post I mention microsoft fax (no others) upgrade
from windows media center 2005 to vista premium (nothing else). I can't
fathom what spurred his rude response, other than his pride and anger,
neither of which I'm responsible for. I apologize for my response to him,
but I wasn't expecting to be responded to in such a way.
Your right, I have an MSDN subscription, however, didn't want to upgrade to
a temporary Vista license just for the fax stuff. I understand the problem
now and have taken steps to repair it. (I bought Vista Ultimate...got some
other goodies along with the fax support). I hope that in the future, You
and Russ and anyone else put in a position to respond to us "novice" Vista
users, can do so with a little more patience and understanding.

Thanks Dave, for your response. Much appreciated. I'll give your suggestion
a try.

Sorry Russ, I drink and smoke too. Christ works in my weakness.

It doesn't work. I sooooo tried to do that when I discovered that I'd lost my fax capacities, praying as I did so...

We all get tired from time to time, just as you were after your "upgrade to
Vista marathon." You posted a question that we have answered here countless
times and yet provided none of the information that even allowed us to know
what your specific problem was. That doesn't make good use of either your
time or ours, both of which I'm sure is very limited.
