Sources of INFO Problems
Common Problems Opening INFO Files
GNU Emacs Disappeared
If you attempt to load your INFO file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open INFO Files". Usually, this is because you do not have GNU Emacs for %%os%% installed. Because your operating system doesn't know what to do with this file, you won't be able to open it by double-clicking.
Tip: Another INFO-related program can be selected to open the file by clicking "Show Apps" and finding the application.
Outdated GNU Emacs
It is possible that your version of GNU Emacs isn't able to open your Texinfo Document file due to incompatibility. Installing the latest version of GNU Emacs from GNU Project is recommended. This problem is most common when you have an older version of the software application, and your file was created by a newer version that it cannot recognize.
Tip: Sometimes you can get a clue about the version of INFO file you have by right clicking on the file, then clicking on "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac OSX).
Summary: In either case, the majority of problems opening INFO files are related to not having the correct software application installed on your computer.
Additional INFO Opening Issues
Errors opening Texinfo Document files can still occur even with the latest GNU Emacs software installed on your computer. There can be other issues - unrelated to software - preventing you from opening INFO files. Issues that aren't software-related:
- Windows Registry INFO file paths that are incorrect
- Deletion of the INFO file description from the Registry by mistake
- Incomplete or bad installation of a software application associated with the INFO format
- File corruption affecting your INFO file
- Your INFO is infected with malware
- Hardware related to INFOs has device driver corruption
- Your PC doesn’t have enough available resources to open the Texinfo Document file
