Applicable to: United States

Before you begin you need know that performing these steps will DELETE any faxes that you have received with FAXWORKS. You may want to PRINT out these faxes before you begin.

DELETING THE OLD FAXWORKS:

1) Close ALL Windows applications.
2) Go to the FILE MANAGER.
3) Find the FAXWORKS directory in the left-hand window and single-click on it so the name is highlighted.
4) Press the DELETE key on the keyboard, confirm the deletion, and then answer YES TO ALL to remove everything.

RESTORING FAXWORKS FROM CD:

Create the following directories by using the CREATE DIRECTORY option under the [FILE] menu for each one. Make sure you have C:\ (or the root directory) highlighted in the left-hand window. The directories you need to create are as follows:

C:\FAXWORKS
C:\FAXWORKS\FOD
C:\FAXWORKS\GREETING
C:\FAXWORKS\VOICENEW
C:\FAXWORKS\VOICEOLD
C:\FAXWORKS\SOUNDS
C:\FAXWORKS\SEND
C:\FAXWORKS\RECEIVE

PKUNZIP_-O_-D_E:\RECOVERY\US\*.*_FAXWORKS\*.*_C:\

4) Wait for the system to stop extracting files and return to the DOS prompt.
