How to open INFO-15 file?
The main problem with Cygwin Info is that the INFO-15 file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open INFO-15, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the INFO-15 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. 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-15 with Cygwin. Below you will find a list of applications that support INFO-15 files.
Programs to open INFO-15 file
Remember to download programs supporting INFO-15 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Cygwin with INFO-15 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the INFO-15 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the INFO-15 file with the Cygwin program.
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-15 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The INFO-15 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to INFO-15 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file INFO-15 or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected INFO-15 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-15 files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair INFO-15 file corruption. 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 INFO-15 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. If possible, you can try to move the INFO-15 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. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file INFO-15 to close. However, some background programs may block the INFO-15 file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
