Incoming fax looks tall and thin

On receiving a fax, and asking to view it, the fax opens in Corel Photopaint. The image looks tall and thin, and in order to view it correctly, I have to change the image resolution (in Photopaint) from 204 x 98 dpi to 204 x 204 dpi

Is there a setting in the Windows XP fax console that would put this right?
 
Possibly the file type used my the fax program has been taken over for
viewing by Photopaint when it was installed. Check by navigating to Windows
Explorer or My Computer Tools Folder options File Types
Extensions TIF and TIFF. Change the association with: Change Windows
and Fax viewer.

In most cases, the file association should be:

"rundll32.exe <drive>:\WINDOWS\system32\shimgvw.dll,ImageView_Fullscreen %1"
