How to open INFO-25 file?

An often recurring problem with Cygwin Info is that INFO-25 is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that INFO-25 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-25 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 we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file INFO-25 with Cygwin. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open INFO-25 files.

Programs to open INFO-25 file

Remember to download programs supporting INFO-25 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Cygwin with INFO-25 files

If, despite the installed application, the INFO-25 file does not start in the Cygwin application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the INFO-25 file with the Cygwin application.

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The fault may also lie with the Cygwin program, it is possible that Cygwin Info requires a newer version of the program.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-25 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:

The INFO-25 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to INFO-25 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 computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our INFO-25 file. Sometimes virus-infected INFO-25 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the INFO-25 file. 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 the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair INFO-25 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 INFO-25 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. Copying the INFO-25 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the INFO-25 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-25 to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
