I have a computer that is running Me and was connected to
SBS2K. I try to upgrade it to XP Pro but the installation
will not continue because the Shared Fax Client is
installed. I cannot find a way to remove the shared fax
client. Help.
 
Open up My Computer.
Go to Tools, Folder Options.
Put a check in "Show hidden files and folders".
Click on Start, then Run.
Type in: CMD.
Type in: cd\ , then hit enter
Type in: dir fxsclnt.exe /s
Remember what directory you found the file in.
Type in Exit.
Double click on My Computer.
Right-click on the C: drive and click on Explorer.
Find the directory that housed the fxsclnt.exe.
Delete the file and restart.

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