XP Fax installation
Can someone help me. I am trying to install XP fax. I don't have the original CD for XP (lost in filing somewhere) I have downloaded and extracted fxsapi.dll fxscom.dll fxscomex.dll and now it is asking for fxsclnt.
I am now totally confused and doubting whether it is really worth the effort. Is someone able, in plain english, to help me get this running.
Thanks I would appreciate it

You can only install Windows XP Fax by using the Add/Remove Windows Component utility in Control Panel. That gives you the chance first to make sure your fax modem is installed and configured correctly and thereby avoid many of the misses that occurred with Windows 2000 Fax installation. All you need to do to install Windows XP Fax is point the installation routine to the source for your XP installation files.
The Fax Configuration Wizard will start the first time you access any of the fax functions from the Start menu. Here you can set up your basic fax functions. Configuration of XP Fax is much simpler and more intuitive than it was in Windows 2000. For example, you can enable fax reception in this wizard rather than following the nearly undiscoverable path that was necessary in Windows 2000. Installing the fax service creates a fax printer automatically and in its properties you can configure the rest of your faxing options, such as how you like the Fax Monitor to behave. Many users have complained that the Fax Monitor fails to appear in the system tray to allow quick access to the fax service, but its absence is all part of Windows XP clean-up of the desktop. The Fax Monitor will only appear in the system tray when a transmission or reception is in progress. If you have manual reception enabled, the Fax Monitor will pop up automatically to allow you to answer an incoming fax call.
