How to open INFO-21 file?
An often recurring problem with Cygwin Info is that INFO-21 is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open INFO-21, 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-21 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. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Cygwin in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file INFO-21 with Cygwin. Below you will find a list of applications that support INFO-21 files.
Programs to open INFO-21 file
Remember to download programs supporting INFO-21 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Cygwin with INFO-21 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the INFO-21 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the INFO-21 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-21 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. Usually this applies to INFO-21 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the INFO-21 file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover INFO-21 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-21 file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged INFO-21 files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Red Hat, Inc. help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted INFO-21 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 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. Copying the INFO-21 file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the INFO-21 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file INFO-21 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.
