How do I get rid of the MS Shared Fax Client? It is
blocking my upgrade from 98 to XP. I don't have a fax
installed but I loaded Microsoft Fax from 98 install disk
and then uninstalled it but I am still getting blocked.
Thanks,

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.
