What is INFO-14 file?
The INFO-14 file has been categorized as Misc Files. It was designed by Red Hat, Inc.. In addition to this file, the Misc Files category includes 6033 related files. Cygwin Info is supported by 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. The main program that supports this format is Cygwin. This was created by Red Hat, Inc..
How to open INFO-14 file?
The main problem with Cygwin Info is that the INFO-14 file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open INFO-14, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the INFO-14 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
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Cygwin is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Cygwin in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support INFO-14 files.
Programs to open INFO-14 file
Remember to download programs supporting INFO-14 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Cygwin with INFO-14 files
If, despite the installed application, the INFO-14 file does not start in the Cygwin application, you must create a file 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the INFO-14 file with the Cygwin application.
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. 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-14 file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the INFO-14 file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file INFO-14 or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected INFO-14 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the INFO-14 files changes over time. 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 the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged INFO-14 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 can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file INFO-14 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the INFO-14 file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
