I read how there are friendly help groups out there
helping the blind find their way when the OEM refuses to,
and when the MVPs either just give up or don't see the
problem. I see it from the other side, but we out in the
world still have a problem that's generic. The software
says it has the capability. The user proves he can't
make it work. The OEM says "Tough bananas, Restore your system
like it was when we gave it to you, lose all your data, and
maybe it will work when you're done. Maybe." And the MVPs say,
"We told you a few places to look, but something is wrong with
your software. The software says to get it from the installation
CD. Oh, you have no installation CD? Well, talk to your OEM".
Microsoft should have a download to overwrite or install
things....they supply a zillion others, I wish they'd supply
this one. I'd like to see the FAX; I kind of did pay for it
when I bought the machine with XP installed. But I'm just
going to go away. My eFax works. My SmithMicro HotFax works.
It isn't the first time I got caught in a Catch-22, and it won't
be the last. Good night, all.
