| 1168518 | 2011-01-10 08:58:00 | You need a fax modem connected to your phone line to send s fax. If your computer has a modem & you have installed W7, the chances are that W7 can not find a driver for your old Modem, mine couldn't. Easiest solution is to get a Dick Smith USB fax modem, needs no driver, just plug it in. The USB modem is for Vista, but works fine with W7. I send several fax a week. | mzee (3324) | ||

| 1168521 | 2011-01-10 18:26:00 | I am trying to buy some software, and don't want to email my credit card details. The company (in USA) gives me the option of ringing (too long a queue) or faxing to take advantage of their 'loyalty' discount. WHy not ask someone with a CC do do it for you? Then you pay them. |

| 1168522 | 2011-01-10 20:50:00 | Hi all - I have been messing around for the last hour trying to send a fax from my 'puter, running the above OS. I have a feeling I should be able to do this - but run into bother when it tells me: 'There are currently no modems installed on this computer ....., you need at least one modem installed'. Would someone give me some hints about this? I am trying to buy some software, and don't want to email my credit card details. The company (in USA) gives me the option of ringing (too long a queue) or faxing to take advantage of their 'loyalty' discount. Thanks :) Hi R.M. have to do a lot of Faxing for WINZ requirements, tried wife's W7 machine's Outlook and got to the stage where it needed the full Office suite, stuff that!! Had a new board put into this XP machine and they stuck a Soft V92 Data Fax Modem into it for "free" and we use MightyFax paid software (no longer available) to send/receive faxes. Think it's called RKS now. Cost us $us20. from memory. Still have to tickle it a bit, especially the Receive mode, it's always after the string details, even when it's been set to auto. Lurking. |

| 1168523 | 2011-01-11 04:52:00 | Again - thanks for the helpful comments. I spoke to someone at work today, and they offered to send the fax for me. Now all I need is confirmation that it has been received - and that will hopefully happen through the night.:) | R.M. (561) | ||
| 1168524 | 2011-01-11 06:22:00 | I used Mighty Fax for years with XP, but its driver was not compatible with W7. Mighty Fax changed hands and is now called Essential Fax and is compatible with Vista and W7. It remains much the same, a few improvements. And no, the serial number for Mighty Fax is not accepted by Essential Fax. W7 has a Fax built in, but I find Essential Fax much more user friendly. |

| 1168525 | 2011-01-11 06:37:00 | W7 has a Fax built in, but I find Essential Fax much more user friendly. Does that work with broadband? |

| 1168526 | 2011-01-11 06:41:00 | Every version of Windows from XP has had a fax program. I used to use Winfax. Its somewhere here on CD. And no it probably wont work with broadband. You'll still need some kind of fax modem | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1168527 | 2011-01-11 07:03:00 | You can get a PCI Fax/Modem compatible with Win7 for about $35 | Snorkbox (15764) | ||
