Hello Ted I have XP-PRO SP1 and you can make XP open tifs with Irfranview; Open Explorer - RIGHT-click on START On Menu select Tools - Folder Options Click on File Types tab Scroll down to TIF under Extensions Select Change (TIFF will change too) You should have Irfranview as a choice - select it If it's not there go Browse and find Irfranview Click on Ok Open a tif file from FreeBMD and it should open in Irfranview also applies to Win98,Mil,2000 with slight variations in options Garry Kiwiz Syndicate Co-ordinator ----- Original Message ----- From: Ted Southcombe To: Kiwiz ; [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, June 29, 2004 1:17 AM Subject: Re: Viewing Tif/tiff files Yes, Irfanview is great and I use it. But it's not the answer here - the downloads won't open in my Internet Explorer running under XP Home SP1. I have no problems with TIF, TIFF files in any other respect including downloads using the existing procedure.
