I am using an internal FAXmodcem (CREATIVE LABS Modem Blaster V.92 PCI
DI5631) on my XPpro computer, at least for receiving FAXes. IRFANVIEW
is my default viewer for .TIF files.

Problem is that I am confused about what is needed to view the
received FAXes. A multiple page received FAX file is now in the XP
Fax INBOX folder, but I am struggling to view the file.

[1] What program should I use to view the received FAX from the
MS Fax Console screen ?

IRFANVIEW only presents the Cover page of the received MS Fax file,
nothing else. However, the title bar and status bar in Irfanview
changes when I click on right arrow to advance to the next file in the
active folder.

I chose to place a copy of the received into a folder on my C: drive.
When pointing to the .tif file from WinExplorer I am able to right
click and use ONLY the Windows Picture and Fax Viewer under the Open
With option. [2] Is that the only possible viewer?

[3] Is there a way to setup Irfanview as the functional viewer of
the FAX file that is listed as within the MS Fax INBOX folder ?

Thanks.

No. You must use Windows Picture and Fax Viewer if you want to view faxes in
Windows XP Fax.

If you have Microsoft Office installed, you can also use the
Microsoft Office Document Imaging program. It might not be
installed with the default setup for Microsoft Office. It shows
thumbnails of the pages to the left the way Acrobat does for certain
files. It is in the Microsoft Office Tools shortcut folder, if
installed.
