Windows 2000 TIF problems

[AmeriSource]

I have a network running WINNT40....one machine is 2000pro. That machine happens to be in the marketing dept. He always saves his work as a .tif on the network, and when I access it to burn from my NT station it isn't recognized. It won't open...nothing. I have to take an external burner and go to his 2000 station to burn the darn thing. Is there a solution to this?

To open a .Tif image, you should have the Wang Imaging program installed on the NT4 systems. It's under start/programs/accessories

If it's not there, you will need to add it in order to open it, or install a 3rd party app that handles .tif images.

Offhand, I believe the filename is wangimg.exe - and it can be found on the NT4 CD. Add/Remove should be able to do it as well.

It shouldn't keep you from copying it or burning it unless he has security permissions set. You may want to look into that.

Hope this helps.
