How to open INFO-13 file?
The main problem with Cygwin Info is that the INFO-13 file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file INFO-13 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-13 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
In this case, you should first verify that the Cygwin application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Cygwin into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file INFO-13 with Cygwin. Below is a list of programs that support the file INFO-13.
Programs to open INFO-13 file
Remember to download programs supporting INFO-13 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Cygwin with INFO-13 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the INFO-13 file to open in the Cygwin application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. 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 Cygwin application as the default for handling the INFO-13 file.
Step 3. Update Cygwin to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Cygwin program, it is possible that Cygwin Info requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Red Hat, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the INFO-13 file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to INFO-13 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our INFO-13 file. Sometimes virus-infected INFO-13 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of INFO-13 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
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-13 files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Red Hat, Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file INFO-13 except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move INFO-13 to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. 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-13 to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
