I was able to view the patents using interneTIFF till yesterday. Now QuickTime is opening the patent images.
Possible Reasons:
-Recent Windows Operating System Upgrade: Your system registry might have been updated. You have to re-install interneTIFF OR
-QuickTime interference: 
STEP 1: The first thing to check is to open innoVUE from your desktop and Select User Preferences and Fix File associations and check the Status of the file associations.
 
Anytime, the TIFF associations are hijacked from interneTIFF and innoVUE, you can re-associate them back using this screen.
If the status is not OK, then click on the Change Button.

STEP 2 : QuickTime is interfering and taking over the TIFF Format. You have to disable QuickTime TIFF Format.
Open QuickTime Player->Edit Menu->Preferences->QuickTime Preferences.
Select Browser Plug-in from the PullDown Menu and Click MIME Settings Button, Browse to Images and uncheck TIFF.
FireFox/Opera users: Locate your browser's plug-in directory((C or D):\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins ) and delete npq*.dll

You might have to Re-install interneTIFF after disabling Quick Time .

My local TIFF's are associated with a different product before but I associated them with innoVUE.ico What happens if I un-install the product?
The product saves all the information from your registry when it's installed and puts back that information when it's un-installed.
For Ex: if your default image viewer for a particular format is Photoshop, and you have selected innoVUE to be your new default viewer for that format. During uninstallation, interneTIFF will set Photoshop back as your default viewer. However if you installed some other image viewers after you installed interneTIFF, those new image viewers will take over the File associations and interneTIFF uninstallation program will still put Photoshop as your default viewer when uninstall interneTIFF .

The Status Message in the TOOLBAR stays at "Requesting...." or "Connecting..." for a long time?
Every page in the Patent is a LINK by itself. If the Traffic at the USPTO site is heavy and/or your internet connection is slow, it will take a while for the requested link to be received. After a while, if the connection is still busy, you will get a "TIME OUT" Message. However, if you don't want to wait and kill the link manually, you can Click the "STOP" button on your ToolBar. 
If this happens during SAVEALL/PRINTALL, you have the option of STOPPING the whole process or CONTINUE with the remainder of the pages and SAVE/PRINT missing pages later.


I bookmarked a Patent a while ago. When I try to open it now, I get a "Time Out" Error.?
USPTO generates the search results dynamically. So your bookmarked URL may not be valid after a certain period. You have to perform a new Search for the Patent.

The browser BACK Button is not taking me back to the Previous Page. Instead, it opens a new Patent Page Page with interneTIFF.?
This will happen if you use the USPTO navigational buttons instead of interneTIFF's. Everytime you navigate to a new page using USPTO's buttons, a new page is opened using interneTIFF. So for example, if you go to Pages 4, 5, 6 using the USPTO buttons, When you click the Browser BACK button, you will be taken back to Page 5, 4 and then to the previous page. Use interneTIFF buttons instead.

I am getting "16 bit subsystem C:\Windows\System32\Autoexec.nt The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications."
According to Microsoft, the reason that you are getting this message is because one or more of the following files ( Config.nt, Autoexec.nt or Command.com) are missing or damaged. This is not an interneTIFF issue. You might be facing the same problem when installing other products.
To Read and Fix this issue : http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;324767
Once you follow the steps described, you can install interneTIFF.


I am getting a "HTTP_STATUS_REQUEST_TIMEOUT" Error.
These errors are due to the fact that you are still using our discontinued, obsolete products. These products do not work with the latest browsers.

5. What Image Formats are supported with Version 8.0?
   interneTIFF reads and writes several TIFF formats that does not require an LZW license. TIFF is a tag-based file format designed to promote universal interchanges of digital image data. Because TIFF files do not have a single way to store image data, there are many versions of TIFF. interneTIFF supports the most common TIFF formats. 
   interneTIFF can also be used on any website that has TIFF images and supports different flavors of TIFF, including TIFF CCITT, TIFF CCITT Group 3, TIFF CCITT Group 4, which are compressed TIFF files that are commonly used for FAX transmission and document imaging.(LZW not supported ).

interneTIFF

1. How do I view the patent pages that I just saved? Do I need another TIFF Viewer for my local files?
   innoVUE is a stand-alone Desktop application with complete set of imaging tools to view/save/print your locally saved patents or images. innoVUE is installed automatically during the installation of interneTIFF-PRO. A shortcut of innoVUE is placed on the desktop for easy access .
   
   
2. What is the naming convention when saving ALL files from uspto.gov?
   The default option is "Save ALL, Save all pages in a Single File". The Single File is saved in patentnumber.tif format.
   If you choose "Save each page as Individual File" option, then pages are saved as patentnumber-pagenumber.tif format.
   If you choose "Save by Sections" option, then pages are saved as patentnumber-sectionname.tif format(eg: 6457832-clm, 6457832.spe etc).
   
   
3. I aborted the Save process. What happens to the saved TIFF File?
   Only the pages saved prior to aborting will be included in the file.
   
4. While Saving from the USPTO site, the Status message jumped from Saving 1 to Saving 4. What happened to pages 2 and 3?
   If  your network connection is fast, then there is very little time incurred between saving the images and therefore the status messages are updated rapidly and are not visible. The images, however will be saved correctly.
   
5. Can I Save the Entire Patent with a Single Click?

   HINT:
   When you select Save Sections, individual Section's page ranges are calculated and displayed. This is a very useful feature if the patent has unusually large number of pages. There is a possibility that the connection might be lost during the save process.You can conveniently save each section separately.
   
   
   STYLE:
   If you choose "Save each page as Individual File" option, then all the images in the patent are saved as individual files.

    According to USPTO, Individuals, companies, IP addresses, or blocks of IP addresses who, in effect, deny service to the general public by generating unusually high numbers (1000 or more) of daily database accesses (searches, pages, or hits), whether generated manually or in an automated fashion, may be denied access to these servers without notice.
    The USPTO HitCount gives you the number of times you have accessed USPTO using interneTIFF.
    DO NOT rely in this number as USPTO might change the definition of a hit when you access it's site.
    THIS IS TO BE USED ONLY AS A ROUGH ESTIMATE. The User is ultimately responsible for USPTO usage limits.
    RESET the count on a daily basis to have an estimate of the Hits per Day.
    When the HitCount reaches 1000, it will be reset back to 1 automatically.
