Troubleshooting Problems Opening WHT Files


Typical WHT Opening Challenges

Microsoft NetMeeting Removed

You encounter an error message such as "%%os%% Can't Open WHT Files" when trying to open your WHT. Usually, this is because you do not have Microsoft NetMeeting for %%os%% installed. You won't be able to double-click to open your WHT because your OS doesn't know what to do with it.


Tip: When you have another program installed that you know will open your WHT, you can select it from the other programs listed (see "Show Apps").


Wrong Version of Microsoft NetMeeting is Installed

Your Microsoft NetMeeting White Board Document File file is incompatible with Microsoft NetMeeting because you might have the wrong version installed. Installing the latest version of Microsoft NetMeeting from Microsoft Corporation is recommended.

Tip: If you right-click on your WHT file, then select "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), you can obtain hints about what version you need.
