File Associations/ Image Viewer 1

[SHardy]

We have a user here who, for some reason, does not have Imaging for Windows installed. She has NT4 SP6. She needs to view DCX & TIF files.

1) She tried opening a TIF file, and somehow managed to associate it with Adobe Reader. I need to remeve this association, and associate with an image viewr. However, I cannot find TIF on the file association list. If I try and add as a new type I am told that the extension is already used with file type "tif_auto_file". Can someone tell me how I can remove or overwrite the existing association?

2) I need to install an appropriate image viewer on her machine. Preferably freeware. I already tried BravaReader. This works with TIF files, but not with DCX files. Is there anywhere that I could download the Wang Imaging for Windows software? Are there any other downloadable viewers that I could use to view both file types?

Thanks,
Simon

- includes option to associate all (or selected) image types with it. Excellent freeware.

Thank you very much. I have downloaded this now, and will try it this afternoon.

Sorry for the delay.

I have installed this viewer, and it is, as you said, a fantastic bit of freeware.

Thanks very much for your help.
