Unable to open TIF files

[Rajiv K Khandelwal]

While opening TIF files, I have started getting the message that Windows Fax
Viewer is not installed. This happened following installation of Outlook.
Can you guide as how to go about installing the Fax Viewer?

Thanking you in anticipation,

Rajiv K. Khandelwal

There are other ways to view TIF graphics.
Try the free utility from www.irfanview.com
(also a nifty audio player.)

Copy between "=====" and paste in notepad, save as tif.reg

Double-click or right-click and merge into the Registry.
