	Same for me. It showed an error message in German (which I don't understand) - with an address so maybe it was an out of bounds error. Then it opened with a screen with sort of like spreadsheet 'boxes' but nothing in them. That was it. All I could do was switch it off. I think it is suss. I didn't know Gspot did the same thing. I'll use it. Posted May 26, 2009 by abrogard. Tool version 0.1.0 using OS WinXP Ease of use 1 of 10 Functionality 1 of 10 Value for money 1 of 10 Overall score 1 of 10
	I tried to remove an adaptec DV codec with it. It removed it from the list alright, but a quick system search revealed that none of the adaptec files were removed from system. However, I selected 'codec_sniper.exe' and pressed delete, and that worked fine. Posted August 03, 2007 by tonewheels.

	Worked fine for me. Everytime you remove a codec it sounds a "head shot" in a deep voice. Nice effect for a program called Codec Sniper. Posted October 14, 2004 by State of Mind.

	Nice idea but it all it does is give an error message in German and then opens with no codecs visible. Gspot works just fine on the same system. Posted October 14, 2004 by trock. Tool version 1.0 using OS WinXP Ease of use 1 of 10 Functionality 1 of 10 Value for money 1 of 10 Overall score 3 of 10
