What is INFO-9 file?
The file with the extension INFO-9 is the Misc Files file type. It was designed by Red Hat, Inc.. Additionally, the Misc Files category contains 6033 of other files. Cygwin Info appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. The main program that supports this format is Cygwin. This was created by Red Hat, Inc..
How to open INFO-9 file?
The main problem with Cygwin Info is that the INFO-9 file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that INFO-9 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-9 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. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file INFO-9 with Cygwin. Below you will find a list of applications that support INFO-9 files.
Programs to open INFO-9 file
Remember to download programs supporting INFO-9 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Cygwin with INFO-9 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the INFO-9 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. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the 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-9 file with the Cygwin program.
Step 3. Update Cygwin to the latest version
If, however, after binding Cygwin with Cygwin Info there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest 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-9 file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the INFO-9 file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file INFO-9 or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected INFO-9 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-9 files changes over time. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular INFO-9 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 can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file INFO-9 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the INFO-9 file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the INFO-9 file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the INFO-9 file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
