How to open INFO-3 file?
The most common problem when using Cygwin Info is that a specific INFO-3 is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that INFO-3 files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the INFO-3 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
The first step is to check if the computer has the Cygwin program installed. 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-3 with Cygwin. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open INFO-3 files.
Programs to open INFO-3 file
Remember to download programs supporting INFO-3 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Cygwin with INFO-3 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the INFO-3 file to open in the Cygwin application, but you can set it manually. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Cygwin application as the default for handling the INFO-3 file.
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The fault may also lie with the Cygwin program, it is possible that Cygwin Info requires a newer version of the program. 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-3 file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to INFO-3 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our INFO-3 file. Sometimes virus-infected INFO-3 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the INFO-3 files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair INFO-3 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Red Hat, Inc.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted INFO-3 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. If possible, you can try to move the INFO-3 file to another location.
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. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file INFO-3 to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the INFO-3 file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
