Windows Photo Gallery (Vista) distorts my incoming faxes when prin

I receive faxes to my e-mail as .tiff files.
When printing these faxes, WPG cuts of the bottom of the image and stretches
the rest of the image to fill a landscape page.
I've adjusted the page size, layout, resolution, etc. but still have this
issue.
Images look OK in the main view, but when I click on print, the distortion
begins.
When I select or deselect the 'Fit picture to frame' checkbox, the image
will momentarily flip to an undistorted view but then it flips right back to
the distorted view. Also, when I forward one of these fax to someone who has
XP and uses the XP default fax viewer, they have no such issue.

I'm having the exact same problem (on three separate PCs). I'd like to know
if anyone has a resolution.

I had the same problem. Try changing the default program for TIF files to Microsoft Office Document Imaging...

Right click the file, choose "Open With", "Choose Default Program", "Browse", and select:

C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\MODI\12.0\MSPVIEW.EXE

Could be 11.0 instead of 12.0 if you have Office 2003 installed.

I have had this problem also and it is driving me nuts.... When I tried to do the described fix above I did not get the "Open With" option when I did the right click - whjat else can I try.
