How to open RT_ file?
The most common problem when using Microsoft Windows Winhelp Compressed is that a specific RT_ is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open RT_, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the RT_ file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Microsoft Windows Help
In this case, you should first verify that the Microsoft Windows Help application is installed on the computer.

Programs to open RT_ file
Remember to download programs supporting RT_ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Windows Help with RT_ files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the RT_ file still does not use the Microsoft Windows Help program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the RT_ file with the Microsoft Windows Help program.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Windows Help to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Microsoft Windows Help program with the Microsoft Windows Winhelp Compressed file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Microsoft Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RT_ file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to RT_ files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file RT_ or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected RT_ file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of RT_ file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged RT_ files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Microsoft Corporation, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted RT_ files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the RT_ file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file RT_ to close. However, some background programs may block the RT_ file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
