Disable Windows Fax and Scan - can anyone help?

I am running OS Windows Vista Business 64 - bit on a lenovo T500 with 4 GB of RAM.

Inadvertently, I installed Windows Fax and Scan. This program continutes pop up telling me problems at times and at other times what it says it is ready to send faxes. This pop is boring. It's as if I've been disconnected from the internet and he needs my password again.

At this point, I need to turn it off so that I can get my work without this constrant irritation. How can I disable this feature?

  • Windows 7: Windows Fax and Scan - can't get it to automatic backup to a network

    We use Windows Fax and Scan (Version 6.1 Build 7601: Service Pack 1)-this is the version included with our client for 32-bit Windows 7 Enterprise OS

    I just installed a scanner in a sleep laboratory, scanner works perfectly. There are several sleep technicians that will connect to a computer with the scanner (so short of several user profiles) and patient scan RXs.  Problem is that sleep manager wants the scans to record automatically in a central location for any technology connects in their analyses will record in the same place as everyone else.

    The key is the AUTOMATIC backup.

    This is so the news of background - at the heart of the question... it seems a feature that offers Windows Fax and Scan does not work.

    If you go in fax and scan, there is an option in the tools of-> Scan routing.  If you read on the functionality of its supposed to save AUTOMATICALLY in the network shown, its not to do so.

    So I check the box 'Save in the network folder' (don't know the exact wording)

    (I use xxx because I don't want to publicly share real location) \\xxx\xxxxx\xxxxx\Neuromuscular.

    This is 100% valid and share name of work - used for years many people save to it... Windows Fax and Scan says "sharing network not valid."

    If someone said just use \\server\share

    OK I create a folder on my computer, we'll call it Computer1 and name sharefolder. I share and give "everyone" access read/write... sharing is \\Computer1\Sharefolder.

    Plug in Windows Fax and Scan - it don't be complaint that it is a bad sharing more. So I think that a lot!

    I scan a test page - this isn't automatic registration to \\computer1\sharefolder.  I can come here, but that defeats the whole point of the analysis of routing.

    Sleep lab will be scanning hundreds of slips of Rx by day, management won't allow lost time by manual movement of the images to the save location.

    Any help is greatly appreciated. Got to be honest I'm a little irritated right now because I think its Microsoft as announced a feature in one of their applications is not working.

    Thank you

  • Help with registration of the PDF when using Windows Fax and Scan

    When I use the Windows Fax and Scan, I'm trying to scan a document and then save it as a PDF file.  What happens is when I save it, it opens Adope Photo Shop and will not let me save it as a PDF.  How can I scan a document and then save it as a PDF in Windows 7.0?

    If you have Word 2007 or later, you can scan it, then save it as a PDF. Works fine for me. I have a Canon LIDE 100 scanner, I bought for $50, which will also scan directly to PDF.

  • Has anyone seen a fax USB modem that works with Windows Fax and Scan?

    So far I'm 0 for 2.  PC Fax modems seem to be a lost art.  A few months ago, I tried a USB fax modem and tested the receipt of the fax.  The modem answers the phone, the fax sender starts the transmission and... nothing happens.  Eventually, the sender times out with an error.   Same computer, same Windows Fax and Scan software, with an old modem connected to a serial port, all works well.  Modem manufacturer was not able to help.

    And now the same problem with another PC, the modem is different, different situation.  This time I don't have an easy fallback to a serial port.

    And that leads to my question - no matter that matter where in fact seen a fax-modem USB in the field send and receive faxes using Windows Fax and Scan on Windows 7, and if yes, what was the make and model?

    Thank you

    Hello Greg,.

    Thanks for the quick response.

    You can view the reviews of the product in the manufacturer's Web site and see if that helps.

    Also for the Windows Fax and Scan, when your PC or computer would be equipped with a fax modem (or connected to a fax server), it can send and receive documents such as a standalone device. Windows Fax and Scan even includes a handy tool for the design of custom cover pages.
