How to open INFO-12 file?
The most common problem when using Cygwin Info is that a specific INFO-12 is not associated with the program. This causes the file INFO-12 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the INFO-12 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 Cygwin
The first step is to check if the computer has the Cygwin program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Cygwin in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support INFO-12 files.
Programs to open INFO-12 file
Remember to download programs supporting INFO-12 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Cygwin with INFO-12 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the INFO-12 file to open in the Cygwin application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Cygwin application as the default for handling the INFO-12 file.
Step 3. Update Cygwin to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Cygwin program with the Cygwin Info file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Red Hat, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the INFO-12 file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The INFO-12 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the INFO-12 file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our INFO-12 file. However, remember that not every infected INFO-12 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the INFO-12 files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged INFO-12 files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Red Hat, Inc.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted INFO-12 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the INFO-12 file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file INFO-12 to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
