Lightroom CC 2015.7 won't import small .tif scans

[computerlarry]

We are scanning old photos into lightroom. Sometimes the photos have descriptions written on the back, and are small in size, often under 40k, or even smaller.

When we import these, we get an error message, and they are not imported.  Error message says the file appears to be unsupported or damaged. (1)

Is there a size restriction for importing into Lightroom?

If so, can it be adjusted?

If not, can we adjust the settings that we scan with to make this scans larger in size?

Thank you and Happy New Year

Re-scan and don't use any compression in the TIFF file. See if it will open in Photoshop then re-save it, Save As, to another file name and don't use any compression.
