Re: Migrate XP Fax to Vista Fax

I 'believe' you have to archive your folders, then import each archive in
turn on the new PC

Re: Migrate XP Fax to Vista Fax

Thanks DL however, this solution only creates a archive copy. I cannot
import it into Vista FAX. There is no import feature in Vista FAX and Scan.
Archived FAXes can only be viewed as a .TIF file.

Re: Migrate XP Fax to Vista Fax

Thank you very much for you reply. This link did exactly what I needed. You
may want to update the information on Windows Vista Ultimate Fax file
location as ----(Local Disk)\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows NT\MSFax\
This may be the same for Vista Business. Check it out

Thanks Again and Happy Computing

Re: Migrate XP Fax to Vista Fax

The path on Vista partitions is a little different, but like you, most users
have gotten used to those differences and figure it out pretty quickly.
