Cannot view received faxes

Let's try this again. A few minutes ago I posted this
query, got a reply post with a suggestion that did not
work. I replied, then the whole thread disaappeared.

Faxes received into Fax Console will not print when double
clicked or when "View" is clicked. The TIF and TIFF file
associations point to Windows Photo and Fax Viewer.

Presumably some other setting has been altered. What
registry or other settings are required in order to make
this work? If that won't work, what about associating TIFs
with another viewer (e.g., ACDSee or IrfanView)?

Thanks,
Arthur

5) Why can't I view faxes in the Fax Console?

There are many causes for this problem. Most often, this problem arises
because some other imaging application that you installed has set itself as
the default viewer for TIF files. 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"

Another common cause of this problem is firewall software Trojan horse
rules. The most common is one that ships with Norton Internet Security.
