I don't even know if this is the right forum for this
question, but here goes......
I cannot seem to open files online that are called G4 TIFF
files. They are scanned images of books.
Everytime I try, I get an icon that looks like a Quicktime
logo in a piece of broken film.
I tried downloaded IrfanView but got the same results.
Help Please!

Seems to me that IrfanView should open the
files. Did you download and install the plugins?
Did you try to open them from within IrfanView?
Or did you just left click the file and expect Irfan
View to pop up? If you determine that IrfanView
will open said files, you can set IrfanView as the
default viewer by doing the following:

Try this...right click one of your TIFF files...from
the menu, select...Open With / Choose Program.

Choose IrfanView from the list. Once you make
your selection...be sure to check the box that says:
"Always use the selected program to open this
kind of file".


Some more info:

If you download and run the FixPix2.inf script it will
reset your image associations to Windows Explorer.
(If your OS is WinME use FixPixME.inf)

Also...in WinXP, you can go to...My Computer /
Tools / Folder Options / File Types tab...
