Vista - Printing tif faxes in Vista fax is rotated and stretched - skewed

I am running Vista Ultimate and Office 2007 Ultimate with Business Contact
Manager. If I open a tif fax that comes in over my email with windows photo
gallery or any other program that I have found in Windows to open a tif file
the fax is displayed upright on a landscape oriented page. I can not for the
life of me figure out how to get it to display in the appropriate
orientation. If I rotate the page or change landscape vs portorate same
thing. This used to be so easy... Please help.

I have seen this as well and would be very interested in seeing what the
solution is.

I also am experiencing the same issue but cannot find a solution. The strange thing is that - for these problematic faxes, the TIFF file itself really IS stretched, as shown in other editors such as MSPaint or Photoshop. So then a related question would be - why, then, does the fax appear correct (non stretched) when previewing it in the Windows Picture & Fax viewer?

It would appear that the image viewers are not takeing into account the resolution of the fax. the standard resolution on most fax machines is 200x100 dpi. the only solution I have is to strecth/skew the image and reduce the width by 50%. If there is a better solution I would love to hear about it. My client imports the tiff into a medical EMR database and this problem is very inconvient for them. When they recieve faxes sent in fine resloution 200x200 everything is fine. Please help
