Before you install: AlternaTIFF will configure itself to be Internet Explorer's default TIFF file viewer, but it cannot prevent other applications from changing that setting in the future. If QuickTime, or some other ActiveX TIFF viewer, is installed on your computer, your best bet is to turn off TIFF support in that application before installing AlternaTIFF. Here are instructions about QuickTime. Most other imaging applications do not include an ActiveX control for Internet Explorer, and therefore do not need to be reconfigured.
