any suggestions on NFO file readers/viewers?? when i download a trainer or something there is usally a .nfo help. i try and open it the way it is and it says the file is either curropt or a different version. so i have to convert the file into a txt. its annoying having to do that all the time so any programs that are good? i google for help and found this http://www.softpedia.com/get/Office-tools/Text-editors/DAMN-NFO-Viewer.shtml is it any good?

If you right click on the file and choose "open with", you can select the program you want to open them with. Choose notedpad and select "allways use this program".

That should do it.

That software looks sketchy to me. Try it my way and if somehow it doesnt work, try that program.

.nfo files that are used in text are created to be opened in notepad.
You don't need software to open them.

Do what Cana said. It works.

that happens to me which is why i want a nfo viewer. i can see the text but it is all jumbled up with other characters and doesn't get shown properly.

Turn off word wrap. It fixes the problems.
