Problems with the ancient file
Hi! I can not open the file with the rtf extension. I hope here will help me because I have already tried all the options that just explode the brain. Nothing helps. I opened and through Word of different versions and through other other programs, but everyone writes either that the file is corrupted or has an unrecognized format. Without this file I can't do.
Try opening the file in NotePad. You will lose all formatting, but you may be able to recover some useful content. Otherwise, it's time to restore the file from your last known good backup.

If it really is a RTF file (and not just a file with an RTF extension), the first part when you open it with Notepad should look something like this:
Capture.JPG
If it doesn't then post a screen shot of the first part of the file with Notepad or the file so we can take a look at it
A lot of times there's a 'signature' at the beginning for the file, like "rtf" or "MZ" for exe files that helps identify the real file type
