Faxing using XP Professional

I recently got a new computer and transferred everything from my old computer
to it. I have not been able to use my Fax feature since. I tried to set it
up and was told that I needed Service Pack 3, so I downloaded that. But,
when I try to set up the fax, it still says that I need features from Serive
Pack 3 and to insert a disk. I don't have a disk. I also can't find where
Service Pack 3 is now located on my computer so I can't figure out how to
point to it. Can anyone help me figure out what to do?

Free unlimited installation and compatibility support is available for
Windows XP, but only for Service Pack 3 (SP3) and *only until* 14 Apr-09.
Go to http://support.microsoft.com/oas/def...spx?gprid=1173 | select
"Windows XP" then select "Windows XP Service Pack 3"

Try inserting your XP CD instead of the SP3 CD.
