Having Music and Video Problems? - Codec Checker Utility
Here is a FREE utility that will allow you to verify what audio codec's you have on your system, what they're versions are and if they are broken or not.
Everyone has problems with Video and Audio files from time to time...
One of the biggest causes of this type of problem is "CODECS".
Audio and Video playback problems can often be caused by NOT having the correct codec installed on your computer, or even the wrong version installed...
For the average home user finding this information was very difficult - UNTIL now that is!
There was no reliable utility that could:
1. Determine the codecs installed on a Windows XP computer
2. Check to see if any of the codec's were "BROKEN" (will be highlighted in RED....)
3. Export the data to a text file for technical support!
4. Was FAST to run on a PC and did NOT require installing...
5. SMALL enough for download by modem!
Here's one tht does!
It's called...
SHERLOCK - The Codec Detective
The important thing to remember here is that YOU do NOT need to understand what this software DOES!
You just RUN it, click the SAVE button and it CREATES the TEXT file automatically...
All YOU do then is email the file OR "copy and paste" the contents of the file to whoever is providing you with support!
It's a walk in the park!
The software is extremely small in size at 80Kb AND does NOT install itself onto your computer!
Just download it and place it in a folder. When you require it just double click the file sherlock.exe and it will run - SIMPLE AS THAT...
NO SPYWARE!
NO ADWARE!
NO COOKIES!
It is designed for Windows XP Home Edition / Windows XP Professional / Windows 2000 Pro
