For some reason, now when I right click on tif file in windows I’m getting a pop up box that states;
Explorer. Tif:corrupt file.
This applies to all tif files on all drives.
It includes files opened from Pentax RAW files, processed with ACR and CS2 then saved as tiffs.

any ideas?

Simon.

done that – they open just fine…
they would open with adobe CS2 once the error message was acknowledged.

S,
What program are they set to open with? Try changing it, TIFFs aren’t just image files.
If you can still open them after getting the error message, you are obviously being told "porkies" and something could be out of whack with your window’s installation. Are you using TweakUi, bac?

Thanks for help.
