Viewing multiple fax pages in Windows XP

[Sammy930]

I have no problem sending or receiving faxes using
Microsoft Fax in Windows XP.
My problem is I can only view the first page in multi-
page faxes. If I get a cover page with the fax, I can
only see the cover page. I have to print the fax to see
all the pages.
Does anyone know how to view beyond the first page?

The Windows Picture and Fax viewer should be able to show
you all pages of a multi paged fax. Are you using some
other viewer? Check the output of "assoc .tif" on the
command line - if it is anything other than
TIFImage.Document,then this could be the reason for this
problem.

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"
