Test and Production Sniping Modes
Anuko Auction Sniper can operate in a special TEST MODE. In this mode, the sniper works as usual but the final submitting of bids is disabled. When you download and start using Auction Sniper it initially runs in test sniping mode. Use this mode to practice sniping. You can switch to PRODUCTION SNIPING MODE using Tools - Options menu.
Keep Your PC Clock Accurate
Anuko Auction Sniper relies on your local computer clock to make your bids. If you PC time is a bit off and you snipe too close to auction end time you may miss some targets. Make sure that your PC clock is accurate. Synchronize your clock with online time servers using a time synchronizing program. Note that most time synchronizers use SNTP protocol, which provides time accuracy of about 2 seconds. In other words, sniping 2 seconds or less before auction end time is probably not a good idea. Even when using a time synchronizing program make sure to have at least 5-6 seconds for your shot to come through. If your PC is too old (like several years) check if your motherboard battery is still good. A weak battery may affect speed of your PC clock. There are many time synchronizing programs available. Among others, you can try
Anuko World Clock, which comes with a time synchronizer.
Use the Switch User Function to Run Sniper for Several Users Simultaneously
If several users need to use Auction Sniper on the same computer they can use the "Switch User" function available in Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7. Do not logoff other users if they have active snipes. Auction Sniper saves its settings such as active auctions and other information in user section of the system registry (HKCU). Other users, if they want to use the product, need to logon to Windows on their own, and launch Anuko Auction Sniper in their own personal environment.
