hello everyone,
i run windows 98. Somewhere in outlook express is my problem. when i installed 'windows messaging', in order to get to the faxing capability, i was told to first uninstall outlook express. when the WM was installed, then i could reinstall OE. on that advice, which came from microsoft the instructions, i did uninstall OE, then installed WM.
however, i noticed that when i installed WM, the installation proceedure itself reinstalled OE. i simply made a mental note the instructions did not say that would happen.
i've been tempted to uninstall OE, try to run WM, then reinstall OE.
but a very important first question; is it even possible to run WM when i have a cable, not a phone-line connection? i ask because someone whom i don't trust very much suggested i couldn't. i do have a phone modem, and i even have my home phone connected to it, using my computer an an answering machine.(are things here so simple that all i need to do is list my home phone # as my fax #?) i haven't done that because somewhere in my settings i recall seeing the legend that reads, never use a phone line, or something like that.
ill be looking forward to some help.
