Couple of other Windows TIFF viewers you can try :-

Irfanview32 by Irfan Skiljan
           Available in English and German versions. Free to non-
           commercial use. See http://stud1.tuwien.ac.at/~e9227474

Tiffview by Terry Haddock  
           Can be used as a helper program for Netscape. Homepage is
           at http://www.mis2.udel.edu/~terence/tiffview. It has been
           mentioned that it can handle 2-D encoded tiff G3 format 
           images, but fails on the aspect ratio with fine resolution 
           faxes. 

Please let us know how you get on,
