SYMPTOMS
When you upgrade from Microsoft Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 (SP2) to Windows Vista Enterprise, you cannot use the remote fax printer settings to send fax messages.

To do this, follow these steps:
 * 1) Insert the fax printer software installation media in the computer's CD drive or DVD drive.
 * 2) Click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, and then click Command Prompt.
 * 3) At the command prompt, type pkgmgr.exe /ip:&quot;{ }&quot;, and then press ENTER.

Note Replace the placeholder with the path of the fax printer software installation media.
 * 1) Follow the installation instructions that the fax printer software provides.
 * 2) After you install the fax printer software, close the Command Prompt window.
