Step 1. Install Retrospect
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Retrospect is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Retrospect in it.

Programs to open RXT file
Remember to download programs supporting RXT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Retrospect with RXT files
If, despite the installed application, the RXT file does not start in the Retrospect application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the RXT file with the Retrospect program.
Step 3. Update Retrospect to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Retrospect program with the Retrospect Extension Data Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Retrospect, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RXT file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the RXT file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file RXT or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected RXT file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the RXT file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair RXT file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted RXT 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the RXT file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the RXT file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file RXT to close. However, some background programs may block the RXT file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
