Corel PhotoPaint X7 can't open my TIFF files

Hi everyone,

Whenever I try to open a TIFF file with PhotoPaint X7 the software crashes. 

I notice that a similar problem was described in PhotoPaint X5 almost 5 years ago (post titled "Cannot open any of my TIFF files in Photopaint X5")

Has a solution been found to this yet does anyone know?  Is there any way of fixing it? 

TIFFs are a relatively major uncompressed file format.  It is a nuisance having to switch to photoshop whenever I have to work with TIFFs.

The images open in Photoshop, windows explorer and windows photo viewer.  There doesn't seem to be any way of contacting Corel directly about the problem unless you are within 30 days of purchasing the software (which I am not).  Any thoughts anyone had would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Heaps,

Haydn
