Using Windows fax console

I have used the Windows fax console for receiving faxes for a while. I had
Photoshop installed when I started using the fax system in Windows. I could
VIEW and it would open Photoshop automatically.

I deleted Photoshop and now have Photoshop Essentials 8. I now cannot VIEW
anything because I don't have software to view .tif . I know that
Essentials opens it, but I can't find anywhere in the fax console to tell it
to go to Essentials.

Please help.

I copied and pasted what you wrote into Run and nothing happened. I retried
to view a fax and I received the same error message.

Right click the file you want to open, select Open or Open With. Choose
"Select the program from a list" button if offered. Open With box opens,
select Photoshop Essentials and check the box "Always use the selected
program to open this kind of file."

When I right click, I do not get that option.....

Also see replies to your SAME post that you *multi*-posted in the
help_and_support newsgroup. Do NOT multi-post. Learn to cross-post:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossposting
http://www.blakjak.demon.co.uk/mul_crss.htm
http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/usenet/xpost.html

A point not made is that N multi-posted copies will consume N times the
disk space for each of the separate copies of the same post.
Cross-posted messages have just *one* copy on the server with links in
the newsgroups back to the same single copy. Multi-posting wastes disk
space on the server. Yes, your post may be small but remember that you
consume N times the space on one server and then do so again on all the
newsgroups servers worldwide. You waste more bandwidth getting N copies
of your multi-posted message distributed to all the newsgroups servers
worldwide. Cross-posting has just one copy of the message on an NNTP
server, and only one copy gets propagated to other NNTP servers.

To those visiting the newsgroups, cross-posting helps them see ALL the
replies from those in the other RELATED newsgroup to which you linked
your post. That way, they don't waste their time duplicating similar
replies.

Don't cross-post to more groups than needed if at all. Many consider
cross-posting to more than 4 groups as rude and may filter out your
post. The more groups you add, the less likely that they are related,
the less accurate or focused are the targeted groups, or some of the
included groups may already be encompassed by an included parent group.
If they are subgroups under a topic, choose whether you will be specific
or general in the targeted groups to which you post. Usenet-ignorants
that shotgun their posts across multiple groups trying to capture as
large an audience as possible will offend netizens with the poor aim.
Multi-posting instead of cross-posting when shotgunning across multiple
groups evidences you as a newbie, troll, or spammer.

You don't get an Open or Open With option in the right click menu?

I only posted to two (2) different groups that I felt were the most useful....

Posting to two (or even a few more) groups is fine. Vanguard's point
(and mine) was not that you did that, but that you multiposted (sent
the two messages separately) rather than crossposted (sent a single
message addressed to both groups.

Here's my standard post on the subject:

Please do not send the same message separately to more than one
newsgroup (called multiposting). Doing so just fragments the thread,
so someone who answers in one newsgroup doesn't always get to see
answers from others in another newsgroup. And for those who read all
the newsgroups the message is multiposted to, they see the message
multiple times instead of once (they would see it only once if you
correctly crossposted instead). This wastes everyone's time, and gets
you poorer help than you should get.

If you must send the same message to more than one newsgroup, please
do so by crossposting -- sending a single message simultaneously to
multiple newsgroups (but only to a *few* related newsgroups).

And you MULTI-posted instead of cross-posted. Again read my reply to
understand what is cross-posting and why it should get used when
submitting your SAME message to multiple RELATED newsgroups.
