How to open INFO-2 file?
The most common problem when using Cygwin Info is that a specific INFO-2 is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open INFO-2, 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-2 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. 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. Below is a list of programs that support the file INFO-2.
Programs to open INFO-2 file
Remember to download programs supporting INFO-2 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Cygwin with INFO-2 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the INFO-2 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 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the INFO-2 file with the Cygwin program.
Step 3. Update Cygwin to the latest version
If, however, after binding Cygwin with Cygwin Info there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest 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-2 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the INFO-2 file. 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file INFO-2 or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover INFO-2 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the INFO-2 file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged INFO-2 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-2 files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the INFO-2 file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file INFO-2 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.
