TROUBLESHOOTING
I need to re-enter my Copernic Agent registration number, but I have lost it. What should I do?
If you've lost your registration number for your Copernic software, check our support section.
When I try to install Copernic Agent, I receive an error message saying that the file I just downloaded ".is not a valid Win 32 application". What should I do?
Here are different possible operations:
- You can try to delete files in your \Windows\Temp folder (by default, this is C:\Windows\Temp or C:\Winnt\Temp), reboot your computer, close all your programs and try again.
- You can try to redownload Copernic with another browser, if this is possible. We recommend that you save the file to your hard drive instead of executing the file from its current location.
Why does Copernic Agent sometimes not use all search engines of the selected category when I make a search?
You are probably making your search using the "exact phrase" mode. Unfortunately, certain search engines do not offer this function. In that case, Copernic Agent only queries the search engines that support quotation marks (" ").
The "Send by e-mail" feature in Copernic Agent does not operate on my system. How can fix this?
Here are some tips that will help you:
- Make sure you indicated the right SMTP server address. Contact your Internet Service provider or your network administrator if you do not have this information.
- If you need to authenticate yourself, click the Advanced. button and make sure to type your username and password properly (case sensitive).
- If you haven't tried it already, maybe you need to use a MAPI instead of an SMTP server. Please try this option and send a test e-mail to see if it works.
