Windows Paint Brush will view tif files.
If you can't find it go to Start>Run and type

Pbrush.exe

Well, any half-way decent graphics editor can open a Tag Image File Format (.TIF) file.
I have Office 2000 installed, and with that comes the Microsoft Photo Editor. With that,I can open .TIF files.
Also in a default Win2K setup, .TIF files are opened by the Imaging for Windows program.
You can't open a .TIF in the Windows Paintbrush, though!

hope this helps

Depending on your version of Windows, and IE, you can view most image formats in IE.

In XP, the built in image viewer works just fine.

Nearly all of the freeware image editors can open and edit TIF files.

Also, Quick Time from Apple has a picture viewer that you can use.

This is a standard hi-res graphics file format. All major graphics editing packages will display tifs (Photoshop, Corel Draw/Photopaint, etc).

Many freeware viewers will display *some* tif formatted images. For example I like ACDSee, but it can only view some of the tif images I have. I expect this is due to the different, header, compressions, previews, etc that can be saved with the tif images.

Good luck....
