Win95 Fax Software
This is highly questionable advice.
IMO mode was a temporary, highly dysfunctional mode of Outlook I would not wish on anyone. It was quickly abandoned. Even worse was WinFax SE which almost never worked, was never supported, and certainly won't work with modems released years after it was abandoned. There is absolutely no need to switch to either. Corp/Workgroup mode of Outlook and Microsoft Fax worked just fine and were far more reliable. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Duke Williams" wrote in message .. . ********************** "J.

Windows used to have it's own fax software, I think it was on the Win95 version. I have an old Win95 cd and was wondering if anyone remembers out to get this fax software to work?

Hi Rus,
I am not going to argue with this; "certainly won't work with modems released years after it was abandoned." Michael said in his first post; "I am temporarily (maybe permanent!) using my old Win98 computer." His OLD machine MUST NOT HAVE "modems released years after it (i.e. WinFAX SE ) was abandoned ". The modem in his PC is OLD and will work with WinFAX SE from Outlook98 as well as the modem driver on PC's System CD will work to the modem. Duke "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote in message ...

Agreed, but even most older modems didn't work with WinFax SE. The more
important point was that moving to IMO would have a lot of unintended consequences for someone who preferred to use Exchange 5.0. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Duke Williams" wrote in message ...

Hi Russ.
I am not sure that he will have the problem you mentioned in his Windows98 + Exchange5. Yes he has Exchange5 in WIndows98. ********************** The only reason I have not re-installed Outlook 98 is that I am afraid it will erase/override the fax function in Exchange. ********************** As far as I am concerned, Outlook98++Exchange5 +WndowsNT4 Workstation(WindowsNTSP4 and IE4.X must be the version when WinFAX SE is being to be installled) has no problem to re-install OL fromCorp/Workgroup to IMO vice versa. As Michael has Windows98, he only needs to care about Intenet Explorer 4.X when re-installing Outlook to IMO and WinFAX SE to make the installer work. As FAX modem concerns, U.S Robotics 56K Voice FAX model No. 0637 manufactured in 1999 worked with WinFAX SE having no problem in my case . Maybe I was lucky with this modem.

But the user was concerned about losing the functionality he had with
Exchange 5.0. Outlook 98 C/W is the overlay to Exchange 5.0 and simply updates that module, retaining all its functionality. A switch to IMO would blow his full MAPI capability away for good, leaving him with a version of Outlook what was never intended for anything but an interim fix for users who did not need MAPI. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Duke Williams" wrote in message ...

Thanks to reply again.
I got you. Back to his original purpose; ************************ Basically, what I am trying to accomplish is to be able to fax from any Office 97 module, not just Outlook. ************************ Without changing Outlook 98 installation mode which is C/WG mode, maybe printing any document to Microsoft FAX from any application is the solution I believe. If he install FAX function from Windows98 CD, he will have MS FAX as printer and can send fax following file-print memu of Office97 applications or others selecting MS FAX in print dialog.
