It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties.

The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FYI file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The FYI file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the FYI file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our FYI file. Sometimes virus-infected FYI 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 FYI 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 the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged FYI files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Flow-Cal, Inc. help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted FYI 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the FYI file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the FYI file again. However, some background programs may block the FYI file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
