SYMPTOMS
When you open the Help file for Pro Pool 3D version 1.0 by Head Games Publishing, the file (Manual.rtf) is opened in Notepad and the contents are unreadable.



CAUSE
Pro Pool 3D opens the Rich Text Formatting (RTF) Help file with Notepad. This is inappropriate because Notepad cannot correctly interpret RTF files. The RTF file is correctly associated in Windows 2000 with WordPad.



RESOLUTION
To work around this behavior, open the Help file manually. Double-click the Manual.rtf file in the Pro Pool 3D installation folder to open the file in WordPad.



MORE INFORMATION
Notepad no longer has a file size limitation of 64 KB. Therefore, Windows 2000 does not offer to use WordPad instead of Notepad to open files larger than 64 KB in size.
