faxing and Windows 98

You must have *one* of those apps, not all.

Do you have MS Exchange, Windows Messaging (which is /not/ Windows
Messenger), MS Exchange Server Client or MS Outlook installed? If
not, you cannot use MS Fax.

Did you machine come with an application called Phone Tools
installed? It can be used to fax as can most all-in-one printers.

e-mail address. How can I get it to do this?

Go to 'Control Panel|Mail', select "Microsoft Exchange Server" in the
"Services" window, and click the "Remove" button. Microsoft Exchange Server
is an email system used by businesses for the most part and is almost NEVER
used by an ISP as a general email service. If this service wasn't
specifically placed there to talk to you or your husband's business email
system, you have no need of it. As soon as this service is removed, you'll
stop getting asked for information you don't have.
