PC recognize TIFF but not MDI?

I use XP professional + Office 2003. The Microsoft Office Document Imaging
recognizes only TIFF extension, but not MDI. To open TIFF file i only need to
double click the file from Explorer. But to open MDI file i have to open MODI
first and then open the MDI from there.
I did search other threads and it seems this advice would help: "check
that the Office Document Imaging feature is listed as 'not available'
status in Office XP in Add/Remove Programs in the Windows control panel".
BUT i didnt find the Office XP in Add/Remove Programs?

Can anyone please help? thanks a lot

Anybody knows? pls help. Thanks.

Thanks for your time. The preference is already set to MDI, but the PC still
doesnt recognize MDI files. I really dont know why and it's quite annoying.
Other PCs i have dont have this problem.
Any ideas? :-(
