I'm using Windows 2000 and Windows XP. I want to use a name from my address book to send a FAX. The address book is stored on a network share and when I try to access the address book I can not open it.

It is not possible for Windows 2000 and XP users to use the address book on a network. Please relocate the address book file to your local HDD.


To send a PC-FAX, you need to log on with administrator rights.
