How to open WHT file?
The most common problem when using Microsoft NetMeeting White Board Document is that a specific WHT is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open WHT, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the WHT 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 NetMeeting
The first step is to check if the computer has the Microsoft NetMeeting program installed. This can be achieved by typing Microsoft NetMeeting into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file WHT.
Programs to open WHT file
Remember to download programs supporting WHT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft NetMeeting with WHT files
If, despite the installed application, the WHT file does not start in the Microsoft NetMeeting application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Microsoft NetMeeting application as the default for handling the WHT file.
Step 3. Update Microsoft NetMeeting to the latest version
If, however, after binding Microsoft NetMeeting with Microsoft NetMeeting White Board Document there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Microsoft Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WHT file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The WHT file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to WHT files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the WHT file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected WHT files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the WHT files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular WHT file corruption. 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 WHT 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the WHT file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the WHT file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the WHT file again. However, some background programs may block the WHT file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
