Question: I installed a dictionary program called Dr. EYE 2001 Instant Dictionary on my Windows XP machine and now I receive an error message that says, "Rtdict.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close." Is there away to fix this and if so, how?
Answer: This one had me stumped a bit but I did some checking and it turns out that this program isn't completely compatible with Windows XP. I would advise you first to check with the manufacturer of the program to see if there is a software upgrade and if so then install it. Also you should check out Windows Update for the latest compatibility upgrade as that may fix your problem. If all this doesn't work then you may want to try to run the application in Compatibility Mode. To do this you need to right-click the program shortcut and choose Properties. In Properties you will need to click on the Compatibility tab and set the compatibility to something like Windows 2000. Hopefully this will fix your dictionary problems because a computer without a dictionary can be a terible thing... I mean a TERRIBLE thing!
