How to open INFO-18 file?
The most common problem when using Cygwin Info is that a specific INFO-18 is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that INFO-18 files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the INFO-18 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. This can be achieved by typing Cygwin into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open INFO-18 files.
Programs to open INFO-18 file
Remember to download programs supporting INFO-18 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Cygwin with INFO-18 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the INFO-18 file still does not use the Cygwin program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the INFO-18 file with the Cygwin program.
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The fault may also lie with the Cygwin program, it is possible that Cygwin Info requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Red Hat, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the INFO-18 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. Usually this applies to INFO-18 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our INFO-18 file. Sometimes virus-infected INFO-18 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-18 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 this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged INFO-18 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 INFO-18 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move INFO-18 to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the INFO-18 file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the INFO-18 file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
