The uncompressed TIFF is the only one that will work with 5.1+. However, if
you are also having trouble with WPG and PCX, I think you must have some
other problem - e.g., maybe you have your drive doublespaced or something,
and WP doesn't like that? Or maybe you don't have enough memory?
Are you getting an "Incorrect format" message when you try to create a figure
using a TIFF, or just what happens?
