The fax preview cannot be displayed
Error message when you try to send a fax with a cover sheet from a Windows XP-based computer: "The fax preview cannot be displayed".
When you try to send a fax with a cover sheet from a Microsoft Windows XP- based computer, you receive the following error message:
The fax preview cannot be displayed
However, you can receive faxes without any problems.
This problem may occur in one of the following scenarios:

b. On the Tools menu, click Folder Options.
c. On the File Types tab, locate TIF and TIFF in the Extensions list under Registered file types. Make sure that TIF and TIFF are registered to open with Windows Picture and Fax Viewer in the File Types list. If they are not registered to open with Windows Picture and Fax Viewer, click Change, click Windows Picture and Fax Viewer, and then click OK.
3. Remove Fax Service, and then add it again.
