How to open AGENT file?
The main problem with Forte Agent And FreeAgent Data is that the AGENT file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open AGENT, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the AGENT 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 Forte Agent
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Forte Agent is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Forte Agent into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support AGENT files.
Programs to open AGENT file
Remember to download programs supporting AGENT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Forte Agent with AGENT files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the AGENT file to open in the Forte Agent 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 set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the AGENT file with the Forte Agent program.
Step 3. Update Forte Agent to the latest version
If, however, after binding Forte Agent with Forte Agent And FreeAgent Data there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Forté Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the AGENT file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The AGENT file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the AGENT file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the AGENT file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected AGENT file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the AGENT 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair AGENT file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Forté Inc. help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted AGENT 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. Copying the AGENT file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the AGENT file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the AGENT file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the AGENT file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
