1) Check it is an RTF file that you are loading: use Notepad or similar to ensure it is full of "/blah" statements.
2) Check it is a valid RTF file: Open it in WordPad and make sure your formatting is there and correct.
3) Examine the .Rtf property of the RichTextBox once it it loaded - does it look like the file you examined in Notepad?
4) Save the content using RichTextBox.SaveFile method. Examine it as in 1) and 2) above. Is it the same?

Sorry, but with such a limited description of your problem, it is not possible to say "do this" and it'll fix it!
