    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.
