Thanks for the info! I love picture and fax viewer as the default, though, as I can just double click on the picture and there're usually no issues with it. Otherwise, a right click should do the trick.

Ummm... I think a lot of people, me included love Windows Picture and Fax Viewer, it's so blazingly fast that I don't even complain about it. Nero's viewer is so slow, that's why I never use it.xboxrulz

I need a fax machine that will send the fax to my email? I can't use efax (or anything like it) because my business absolutely needs to keep it's current fax number. Is there a machine I can plug into our phone line that will accept faxes, convert them into PDFs and send it to my email address? How much? Where do I get it?

On each PC you can add a phone modem adapter which allows you to send and receive faxes, and handle them with any software you want, so you can send the files via email.Also, most of professional printer/fax machines (like the Xerox ones) are able to send/receive/manage faxes.

I would use a free online fax service such as sendfreefax.net.
