| | Fax and Scan cannot access your documents error When I click on the Windows Fax and Scan program in All Programs, I receive the following error message: Windows Fax and Scan cannot run as it cannot access your documents folder. Please ensure that Windows Fax and Scan can access that folder. I am running Vista Ultimate that was installed last night. The install was an upgrade over Windows XP Pro. "My Documents" is the D: drive on my system. When I login with the "Administrator" account, it works, by my account (which is an administrator on the machine) only gives me this error. What do I need to do to get past this message? I have checked the security on the D drive and it looks to be setup properly. |

| | Re: Fax and Scan cannot access your documents error I was able to resolve the issue. It was caused because I moved the location of the "Documents" folder and it contained the Pictures and Music folders. I changed the locations of the folders to be: D:\Documents D:\Pictures D:\Music, etc. Then it started working... Now onto the next problem with Fax and scan. ![]() "Daniel L.
