How to open INFO-24 file?
The main problem with Cygwin Info is that the INFO-24 file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file INFO-24 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the INFO-24 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. To do this, enter the name Cygwin into the 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-24.
Programs to open INFO-24 file
Remember to download programs supporting INFO-24 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Cygwin with INFO-24 files
If, despite the installed application, the INFO-24 file does not start in the Cygwin application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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-24 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. 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-24 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to INFO-24 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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-24 file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover INFO-24 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of INFO-24 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged INFO-24 files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Red Hat, Inc.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted INFO-24 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the INFO-24 file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the INFO-24 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file INFO-24 to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the INFO-24 file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
