Hi Georgia,
Sp3 does remove the associations for .TIF, .TIFF, and .MDI files.
Please copy the following data into a .txt file. Save the file and then
rename it to a .reg file. Double click the file, and say yes/ok to the
prompts. This should fix your issue..

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.tif]

I've noticed that a lot of problems have come from SP3. My major problem is
that MDI is no longer available. I looked at changed the properties of the
program, but nothing has changed. It there an undates that can perhaps fix
this problem?
