While opening TIF files, I have started getting the message that Windows Fax
Viewer is not installed. This happened following installation of Outlook.
Can you guide as how to go about installing the Fax Viewer?

Thanking you in anticipation,

Rajiv K. Khandelwal

There are other ways to view TIF graphics.
Try the free utility from www.irfanview.com
(also a nifty audio player.)

What happens if you try to right click on a .tif file and choose "Open
with"? Do you have Windows Image and Fax Viewer as one of the choices?
If so, choose it and tell it to always use the Viewer to open .tif files.

This reg file will restore .tif and .tiff file association to Windows XP
default.
