How to open FNN file?
The most common problem when using DOS Screen Text Font is that a specific FNN is not associated with the program. This causes the file FNN to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FNN file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install MS-DOS
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that MS-DOS is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing MS-DOS into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file FNN with MS-DOS. Below you will find a list of applications that support FNN files.
Programs to open FNN file
Remember to download programs supporting FNN files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of MS-DOS with FNN files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the FNN file still does not use the MS-DOS program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the MS-DOS application as the default for handling the FNN file.
Step 3. Update MS-DOS to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the MS-DOS program, it is possible that DOS Screen Text Font requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Microsoft Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FNN file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The FNN file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the FNN file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our FNN file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover FNN files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of FNN file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair FNN file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Microsoft Corporation, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted FNN files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the FNN file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file FNN to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the FNN file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
