    'Open' disabled in IE download window

    Basically, when I click on a link to a TIFF file on the internet, the download window comes up as it should, but the 'Open' button is disabled. It didn't used to be like that. I now have to download the file to the desktop in order to view it.

    Does anyone know why this has started happening and what I can do to fix it?

    Thanks
    Tom.

    Or you can try Tools - Internet Options -> Security Tab -> click Internet and choose Custom level and see if the Enable Download is enabled.

    Its most likely because your .tif files are no longer associated with a particular application.

    Reassociate them and you should get your Open option back.
