How do I know, I am just telling you what is there
I went to windows Explorer
then clciked TOOL, then FOLDER OPTIONS, then the tab saying FILE TYPES.
Found TIF on the list there & hight light it.
Underneath it says OPENS with Windows Picture and Fax Viewer
just under that it says ADVANCED & when you click there you see TWO ooptions
OPEN & PRINTTO
BOTH have this as application to perfrom action
rundll32.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\shimgvw.dll,ImageView_Fullscreen %1
I have no idea what I need to do as I thought that is what you are telling
me to set the TIF to, but can't when its already like that
I evne took off Corel from my PC & then the fax would not preview in word
before sending as it said there was no application to do so.
BOTH have the
:
How could a TIF file open in Corel Photo if you set the Open command to
use the Windows Picture and Fax viewer?
List the steps you used.
You may need to take this up with Corel. They should not be changing
file associations without your express permission.

& it does already say that. Maybe I do not understand what you mean

That's your problem.
Set it to use the Windows Picture and Fax viewer the way I posted.

yeah I manged to find that in the end but under the FILE TYPES tab
there
are
100's of files & have no idea what I am looking for or what to do then
when I
find it!
:
Or were you having trouble finding Windows Explorer?
It's on your Start menu under Accessories. Or Windows key > E

sorry not that clued up as to where I will find the settings -
Windows
Explorer , Folder Options?
:
Most often, this problem arises because some other imaging
application
that
you installed has set itself as the default viewer for TIF files
and
is
either unable to properly render the files, or has a corrupt file
association. To view faxes from the Fax Console, you can use the
Windows
Imaging and Fax viewer as 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

Hi I has to re install Windows & now my faxing is messed up.
I used to be able to type a letter in Word & then go to Print,
selcet
Fax
then the fax console would open & I could send the whole document
no
matter
how many pages. Now I can't & it will open fax the first page.
Also
when
I
want to view the fax now it opens in a photo viewer where as
before
it
was
a
fax console viewer where all the pages were visable.
Anyone know what has happened & what I need to do to fix this?
