| | Opening Large Scanned TIF documents - Windows Picture and Fax View This is really frustrating. I am just trying to open large scanned TIF documents. My old system just pulled up Windows Picture and Fax Viewer and it was easy. Now, with my new Vista Premium Home, I don't even appear to have Windows Picture and Fax Viewer. And, neither photo gallery, nor paint, nor one other provided program can pull things up. Photo gallery actually pulls parts of more than one scanned file and combines them !!! HOW DO I GET WINDOWS PICTURE AND FAX VIEWER ONTO MY VISTA MACHINE??? Failing that, what can I do?? -Eric |

| | Re: Opening Large Scanned TIF documents - Windows Picture and Fax View No, you can't load the old Picture Viewer on Vista. The Windows Photo Gallery is the replacement. WPG should open tiff files ok. It does here. You might try the newer Windows Live Photo Gallery, as it has more features and seems quicker. http://get.live.com/photogallery/overview Or try Irfanview.. http://www.irfanview.com/ "EJWeibel" <EJWeibel@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:ADF8E1A1-DC13-4812-8A72-96704FCE899C@xxxxxx Quote: > This is really frustrating.
