Fax preview problem

I have a desktop computer with WinXP Pro and a Dell laptop with WinXP Home.
On both I have installed lately Office 2003
Since then the preview on the laptop is done by Microsoft Document Imaging
and lets me see only the first two pages.
The desktop continues to preview faxes with the old fax preview.
Is there a way to get back on the laptop the standard preview?
 
MODI replace the Windows XP Picture and Fax viewer when you install Office
2003. Check your file associations for TIF files. What other imaging
software is installed?
 
Thanks.
I will try it.

Installing Office 2003 makes Microsoft Document Imaging the default viewer
of .tif and .tiff files. If you want to preview faxes using 'Windows Picture
and Fax viewer' you can change the association in explorer->Folder
Options->File Types. You should be able to get the standard preview after
this.

Changing the file association for TIF files might have adverse consequences
for faxing from Outlook. I cannot reproduce the original posters findings.
MODI previews all pages. Just use the Thumbnail view.
