In reading the other posts regarding this problem, I think it may be a number of MIME, but nobody published how to fix this. Can someone send please how to change the MIME type so I can open the files in the right way. I REALLY appreciate it.

Thanks in advance,

Hello

I suggest that allows you to remove any CLSIDS listed under location:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT Type\image/tiff
 

Note: Important This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click on the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

    Since I got my photos all open as I wanted (as before) this way to use Windows Picture and Fax viewer:

    Control Panel > Folder Options > File Types: I changed then each file/folder associated with 'images' to open with Windows Picture and Fax Viewer. I determined this by reading the details for each extension / the item highlighted. If the referenced details 'images', I then clicked on change and choose Windows Picture and Fax Viewer to open the extension.

    I went through everything everyone who was not obvious that they are. I made a change: BMP, GIF, EMF, JFIF, JPE, JPEG, etc... I changed at least 12 (more than I thought it was).

    Immediately after changing all of these types of files, I rebooted and Windows Picture and Fax Viewer was still working the way I wanted to (as before).

    Hi Mohamed

    Thanks for your posting in the Microsoft community

    You can check if you have my documents in C:\Users\ (username) \My documents correct location.
    If the problem persists, you can deactivate and then activate Windows Fax and consolidated expansion of print and Document services from the windows on or off check and option features if this solves the problem.

    You will need to disable the function, and then click OK. Now open Windows Fax and Scanand check. Yet once activate the Windows Fax and Scan and check if you experience the same problem.

    See the link below to display the window for the deactivation and activation windows fax and scan under Print and Document services and check option.

  • remove 1 fax number from outlook to use the Windows fax and scan

    I recently bought a new computer with Windows 7 operating system.  I try to use Windows Fax and Scan to send a fax using my Outlook address book fax numbers.  When I enter the phone number in Outlook it shows as (281) 555-1212.  However, it converts the number of + 1 for each entry, regardless of how I implemented the rules of numbering or not.  Then when I try to fax, I don't need + 1 to dial numbers, only the area code and the number.  I can't do the 1 = go away.  If I dial the number directly in the Fax Wizard, and then it composes correctly, but when pulling starting from Outlook address book that's messed up.

    Basically, I don't have the + 1 to dial local numbers.  Only the 10 digits.  When I get a fax in Outlook number, it automatically formats it with the front 1.  I found an article online that said that if I put a comma before the number to 10 digits, it forces the computer to dial only the numbers that I entered.  It works fine when I do that, then my problem is solved.  Thanks for responding.

    How to open a file with the extension .odg using Vista?

    Hi Defiant503,

    Thank you for visiting the forums of answers.microsoft.com.

    I did some research and a file ending with .odg is an OpenDocument Document OpenOffice/StarOffice (Ver 2) of graphics by Sun Microsystems, Inc.    This means that in order to open this file, you will need this program to open it.  You will not be able to open this file with Vista.

    I hope this information helps.
