How to open INFO-23 file?
The main problem with Cygwin Info is that the INFO-23 file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file INFO-23 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the INFO-23 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 is a list of programs that support the file INFO-23.
Programs to open INFO-23 file
Remember to download programs supporting INFO-23 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Cygwin with INFO-23 files
If, despite the installed application, the INFO-23 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. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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-23 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The fault may also lie with the Cygwin program, it is possible that Cygwin Info requires a newer version of the program.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-23 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 suggests truncating the INFO-23 file contents when downloading or copying. 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our INFO-23 file. However, remember that not every infected INFO-23 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the INFO-23 file. 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 the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular INFO-23 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 file INFO-23 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.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the INFO-23 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the INFO-23 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the INFO-23 file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the INFO-23 file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
