• Can not see faxes sent in Windows Fax and Scan after the migration of Windows XP

  I have recently updated from Windows XP to Windows 7. After the upgrade, I don't see my faxes from Windows XP. I used to have a few of them, but now it is empty after the upgrade. I was able to find the actual files of the NT\MSFax\SentItems C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows but it does not appear when you open the program. Does anyone have a solution for this?

  I was able to find similar problems on other forums, but their corrections does not apply on mine. It was the first part of the file name for the current user under HKEY_USERS.

  Which edition of Windows 7 you are using?  Ultimate may be able to use Virtual PC (XP Mode).  Editions can use other Virtual Machines but require an XP version under license and unused, while which comes free with XP Mode.

  If you open Windows Fax and Scan and click on tools and then click Fax accounts, there is an option to remove all the accounts listed.  After you have done this, you can configure a different account.

  You can try uncheck Windows Fax and Scan via Control Panel / programs and features / turn Windows Features on or off / printing and document Services / Windows Fax and Scan.  This allows to uninstall it.  You restart and then reverse steps to reinstall.

  The location setting you mention could be a location tab, which is available by right clicking and selecting Properties on some of the user folders.  The folder at this location, for example. C:\Users\Usernamexxxx

  You must correct any problems with your Fax Modem, before you can do a lot of fax.  Maybe deleting and reinstalling that will help or verification of the Windows 7 drivers?

• Problem with Windows Fax and Scan.

  I have a Canon MG5420 and Win7 64-bit.  All of a sudden, the Office does not see the scanner.  The print function continues to operate correctly.  Problem occurs regardless of USB or WiFi connection.  The only change in my system is a migration towards Office365.  Other than that, no change. I tried all the basics: refreshed drivers, uninstalled the printer and re-installed.  Any thoughts on what could be the cause?  I get the message error is "No. scanners were detected.  The utility Scan Canon IJ can see the scanner, but I prefer to use the Windows fax and scan.  Any ideas?

  Unfortunately his is possible because there are different drivers and stacks of driver for the printer and the component the same multifunction device installed on the client computer scanner. In a case when the right printer driver is installed and available from the scanner driver may be missing or may be incompatible with Windows Fax and Scan requires the parser must be WIA 2.0 compatible, a TWAIN compatible scanner only for example will not work with this app).
