Programs to open WTR file
Remember to download programs supporting WTR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Encarta with WTR files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the WTR file to open in the Encarta application, but you can set it manually. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the WTR file with the Encarta application.
Step 3. Update Encarta to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Encarta program, it is possible that Encarta Format requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WTR file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the WTR file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the WTR file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover WTR files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of WTR 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair WTR file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file WTR except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
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. Copying the WTR file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the WTR file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
