Re: Sending Docs by Vista Fax stopped working
Please post some actual information. We don't even know how you are trying
to send these documents nor what you mean by "converted files." Examine the
changes made to your system before you lost this capability.
You appear to have a rendering problem, so state the file associations for
the document types you are trying to fax.

Re: Sending Docs by Vista Fax stopped working
Then you'll need to examine the changes made to your system that might have
changed file associations for these file types. Unfortunately, these things
are much more difficult to determine in Vista than in earlier OS. Vista no
longer uses a "printto" verb to call the proper application for rendering.
Instead it uses GDI, Fax Print Driver and Fax TIFF library to print the body
of the message into TIFF format. So look for any changes that might have
affected those files.
