Blocking issue (shared fax) updating from Win ME

[Ed]

I get a Blocking Issue (Microsoft Shared Fax Client) when
I try to re-update from Win ME.
I have uninstalled any fax and printer driver / program I
can find in ME to no avail.

I had updated from ME succesfuly last month (and activated
XP fax) but Norton Anti Virus didnt work. I then
uninstalled XP (without first uninstalling XP Fax) so I
could uninstall Norton Antivirus under ME, reinstall XP
and reinstall NAV under XP.

1. Open up My Computer.
2. Go to Tools, Folder Options.
3. Put a check in "Show hidden files and folders".
4. Click on Start, then Run.
5. Type in: CMD , and hit enter.
6. Type in: cd\ , then hit enter
7. Type in: dir fxsclnt.exe /s
(Remember what directory you found the file in)
8. Type in Exit.
9. Double click on My Computer.
10. Right-click on the C: drive and click on Explorer.
11. Find the directory that housed the fxsclnt.exe.
12. Delete the file and restart.

Now, you should be able to upgrade to Windows XP.
