    .tif file saved from vista fax cann't be opened properly with Paint

    hi, my problem is

    In my daily jobs, i have frequently saved faxes in .tif file and then later
    opened it with MS Paint. This is very easy for me before with Winfax Pro and
    Windows XP. But now, i turn to Vista, using Vista Fax. and i got a big
    problem



    Whenever i have tried to save faxes from Vista built-in fax in .tif and
    opened it with MS Paint, the file format was distorted. it doesn't retain
    the orignal format as it is opened with MS Picture Manager.

    You can try and see (Sorry for my bad English as i can't explain more
    details)

    How can i fix it

    Why must you use MSPaint? What is your file association for TIF files and
    how are you accessing your Vista Fax files?
