Nope, still won't open. I can go into the Windows Explorer and double click
any .tif file and it will open
fine but not from the Fax Console. I can even go to the actual fax file in
the folder from Windows Explorer and
open it with a double click.
I am really lost here. This makes no sense. Its like the Fax Console is
messed up some where.
