fax viewer Albert <amlazon[ at ]Hotmail.com> 12/30/2008 6:14:13 PM Hello all, All of a sudden I cannot view my faxes and I keep getting this error message; Fax Console The facts document cannot be displayed because your operating system does not have a default viewer for fax documents (.tif files). In My Pictures the default viewer is "Windows Pictures and Fax Viewer". I uninstalled Windows fax and reinstalled it and it did not do any good. How do I go about setting the operating system's viewer for fax documents? Any and all help would be appreciated. Albert

Try this: Open "My Computer" and click on "Tools" - "Folder Options" - "File Types". Scroll down and see if you have a registered viewer for files with a ".TIF" extension. If not, click on "New" and type in "TIF" (without a dot or quotes). Click on "OK". Then, with the "TIF" extension highlighted, click on "Change" and select the viewer you wish to use for these file types. Albert
