Default Fax Veiwer

[Guest]

Just tried to view a fax and a message appears saying

"The Fax Document cannot be displayed because your operating system does not have a default viewer for fax documents (.tif files).

Well I used to be able to view these and now I can't! Not only can I not view them but the Help pages don't tell you how get a default viewer. Does any one know?

What is the file association for TIF files? The Windows Picture and Fax
Viewer is installed by default with Windows XP.
There are many causes for this problem. Most often, this problem arises
because some other imaging application that you installed has set itself as
the default viewer for TIF files. To view faxes from the Fax Console, the
Windows Imaging and Fax viewer must be your default viewer for TIF files.
You can easily restore that setting in Windows Explorer > Folder Options.
File Types. For most users the command line should read:

"rundll32.exe <drive>:\WINDOWS\system32\shimgvw.dll,ImageView_Fullscreen %1"
