windows xp home and the problem remain, I thought it was may be SP2 ,i dont
know what to do
,I really appreciate any help ,because i need this issue urgently
File size is not the problem. SP2 made some changes to how RTF and DOC
files were handled - since these are TXT and TSV files, the changes do not
apply.
Is there a default printer designated? If no, Wordpad can run into trouble
trying to display the contents of some files. If no physical printer is
installed, install the "generic text" printer. Here's a link to an article
that contains step by step directions:

TSV and similar formats are normally created by exporting from an
application. To display, they are imported into the same (or a similar)
application. They're usually much easier to read when displayed in their
native surroundings compared to how they look in a text editor or word
processor.

If you are still concerned about the state of wordpad.exe, you might want
to download and apply the following security update which replaced
wordpad.exe with an updated version:

The only other reason that I can think of that you would have problems with
these files is that they were created by third party applications and have
something special about them that Wordpad has trouble dealing with. You
might have to use the source program to really work with these files
instead of using Wordpad.
A workaround that might help... Open the files in Notepad. Select All. Then
copy and paste into a blank Wordpad file. A bit klutzy but may get you
through working with these files.
