Default document image writer - file open problems

after a completely new installation of all including office 2003 I cannot use
my previous *.tif and *.mdi files any more. The image writer is showing up,
however even saving files in these formats gives me the "Windows cannot open
this file".
I am using XP Pro and Office 2003 pro, including all available updates.
Office repair and unistalling and reinstalling printer was no success.
Thanks for help

Did you install the Document Imaging program? It is not installed by default
from the Office setup. Most image viewers will open .tif's.

Thank you Mary. Meanwhile I found the solution: The binding in registry for
the .mdi and .tif files with MSPView.exe was missing, so that the program did
not show up at all.
Thanks again
