I'm having a heck of a time getting XP to operate
reliably. Decided to uninstall XP and remove Norton
Cleansweep. On re-install the upgrade advisor reports a
BLOCKING ISSUES for Microsoft Shared Fax Client.
Instructions are to uninstall via control panel, but no
Fax exists. I'm stuck. Any advice?
 
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.

Thanks a bunch, showing hidden files did it. Search
picked it up. Hopefully that does it. Thanks again, Mike.
