Microsoft File Transfer is not Installed
Microsoft File Transfer (filexfer.exe) may not always be installed when a VoiceView capable modem is installed. If Microsoft File Transfer is not installed, you may be able to configure your modem as a generic VoiceView modem so that you can use File Transfer.

If Microsoft File Transfer is not installed on your computer, first consult your modem documentation or contact your hardware vendor to make sure that your modem is VoiceView capable. Then, install File Transfer by following the steps under Configuring Your Modem as a Generic VoiceView modem.

Installing Your VoiceView Modem
Install your modem through the Control Panel, Modems applet. If you need additional assistance with installing your modem under Windows 95, search on the word "modem" in Windows 95 help.

When files are being copied, a VoiceView modem will require the File Transfer files. When you are prompted for a path to these "missing" files, type in "C:\VVSetup". The files will be found, and the installation will finish.
