This has been an adventure. I figured the easiest way to make
repairs, uninstall and re-install. Nope, not so. the "Folder Property
Schemes" was still blank? There are four *.ffs files missing, not in
the DATA folder, go figure? So, using my Win10 machine for reference
I was able to reconstruct the Property Schemes, "Manage Schemes" to
each group, set "Schemes for New Folders". Nope, the *.jpg display as
Raw Text.....so, lets try a video *.rar..around 28 25MB chunks. Agent
says they are all "Available" in the download directory....nope. The
download directory is empty and Agent is showing a RED X over the
Subject.
I know it could be anything, at the moment, Agent8 is no longer
compatible with my Version of Windows 11.

I hear that, it's working for you, that is wonderful. It worked fine
for about 3 months on Win11, right now it is TEXT only. Installed on
drive \L: the "agentenu800-1272.msi" fails to install the *.ffs files.
It hoses up the installation, that is a bad thing. I am at a work
stoppage right now.....as in done.
