I have been fiddling around with the new fax sender in Vista and I can say I am rather impressed with this version over the XP one. I had a bit of fun and sent some of my old workmates a few emails from my laptop (although they weren’t too impressed as they were still at work!).

To get started sending a fax in vista you need to;

  • Click Start
  • Click All Programs
  • Click Windows Fax and Scan
  • You may need to use the Fax Setup Wizard here if you have not been here before
  • Now click Tools
  • Click Fax Accounts and click Add
  • Here you will need to add your details to create a fax account

Now that you have setup a fax account you can start sending a fax, all you need to do is;

  • Select New Fax from the top left hand side
  • Enter in the recipients details (very similar to sending an email)
  • Click Send and you have just sent a fax through Vista
