Next time please do not post in uppercase for in netiquette
that is considered as shouting and very rude.
It all depends on what app he is using to open the TIF images.
Having SP1 or SP2 does not make any difference.
You can use Paint to open them.

Also, depending on your paint program, *i use ultimate paint* and am not
sure if windows paint allows the same, you can resave the .tif picture in a
different format.. just drop the 'file by type' box down when you go to
'save as'.... you can save in any other picture format of choice.... good
luck.

ABOUT PAINT THOUGH. HAVE A GREAT DAY!
