Microsoft Shared Fax Client
Your existing Microsoft fax application will not be available after
upgrading to Windows XP, and will be replaced by the Windows XP Fax. Please
uninstall this fax application using the Add/Remove Programs in the Control
Panel, and then restart the upgrade. Your current fax settings and data will
be saved, and you can use Windows XP fax to access your existing fax servers
after the upgrade.
