I cannot see where anyone has had the problem I have had with Vista SP2. In my business I depend a lot of TIF files as source documents from which I can OCR bits and pieces. I do not need to OCR whole documents.
Prior to Vista SP2 the TIF files would open "instantly" either direct or through hyperlink from Word documents. After SP2 even the smallest TIF file would take 30 seconds, almost to the second, to open. I do not have the patience for that.
I saw no solutions anywhere on line. So I uninstalled SP2 and I am back to instant opening TIF files. It is going to take a lot to persuade me to reinstall it. Can the Microsoft System Readiness Tool help with that problem?
Note that I am using Microsoft Office Document Imaging (MODI) to open TIF files. I find that a very useful application - particularly the ability to OCR just small selected sections of the image. I do not want to swap to a different TIF reader if it does not have the same capabilities as MODI.
Is my problem with TIF files or with MODI? Does anyone know?
