You can use this

Or my personal favorite, open office

Most of the files open. Opening one with word viewer or open office brings up a 'ASCCI Filter Options' window with the foll options: Character set[western europe( windows-1252/WinLatin 1)etc], Default fonts [Times New Roman,Arial], Language and Paragraph break -> CR & LF, CR(carriage return), LF(line feed). Get the following when I click OK:

try Word Pad

On windows 2000 rtf files dont have anything by default to open them. You can open them at times with word pad but they do not always look right. I used to use windows 2000 and had the same problem. Thats why I used the word viewer and open office.
