Hello,

On a Windows 2000 server pc, when I browse on a TIF file,
it opens (after confirmation) in the browser (with a
process kodak imaging).

On a Windows XP pc, it open as an external application
(windows fax & image viewer).

Is it possible to open this kind of file in the browser ?
If yes, how ?

thanks by advance
regards

Hi,

Below sollution works locally on my PC while opening a tif
file, open with IE 6.0. Unfortenately I am not able yet to
show the tif file while browsing on intranet to the same
file.

Try this, I know it works partially to solve the problem
with tif files;

The following is from Lockergnome tips.

10th December 2001

"Kodak did a wonderful job on their Imaging Application
(which comes bundled with Windows 98 and Windows 2000). As
I archived more and more black and white documents, I came
to appreciate its power. Sadly, this utility does not
exist in Windows XP. There's no KODAKIMG.EXE or
KODAKPRV.EXE to be found! My heartfelt thanks goes out to
Lockergnomaniac John Hunter, who found a solution for
those of us who miss our dear old app. We agree that the
new "Windows Picture and Fax Viewer" sucks. If you have a
Windows 2000 CD, copy the following files from the disc:
OCKODAK.DLL, OIENG400.DLL, OIPRT400.DLL, OISLB400.DLL,
OISSQ400.DLL, OITWA400.DLL, OIUI400.DLL, IMGCMN.DLL,
IMGADMIN.OCX, IMGEDIT.OCX, IMGSCAN.OCX, and IMGTHUMB.OCX.
Note that these files may still be compressed in the "**_"
format.

You will need to use either the EXPAND.EXE utility or
WinZip to uncompress them. If you have a Windows 98 CD,
copy those same files PLUS the following: OIADM400.DLL,
OICOM400.DLL, OIDIS400.DLL, OIFIL400.DLL, OIGFS400.DLL,
IMGSHL.DLL, and IMGOCXD.HLP. In both cases, you should
place all of them inside your System32 folder. Now, it's
time to register the OCX files. Tap Winkey+R to launch the
Run applet and then enter: "regsvr32 imgadmin.ocx" (sans
quotes). Do the same for imgedit.ocx, imgscan.ocx, and
imgthumb.ocx. Remember, to unregister an ActiveX control,
you only need to trail regsvr32 with the "/u" switch.
Besure you've copied over the aforementioned executables
to your System32 folder. They should work now! NOTE: You
may need to launch the Kodak program to see if there are
any other files missing from this procedure."
