I have Vista 64-bit SP2. The Snipping Tool was running and looked nice to have. But after that first run where I was checking it out, it never ran again. If I click the icon, nothing happens. I watched the task list in Task Manager. That ever so briefly lists a new task before it vanishes. I also tried running the tool as an administrator. That had the same results.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a new PC running Vista Home Premium. I tried the snipping tool soonafter I received the computer three weeks ago. It appeared to work fine atthat time. I just tried to use it again but could not find the shortcut. Ithad been in the start menu under accessories but it was no longer there.
Using the Search facilities I found the program file "Snipping Tool.exe" onmy hard drive. I created a new shortcut but the program will not start,nothing happens. I also tried double clicking on the "Snipping Tool.exe"file.
Vista Home Premium does not seem to have a snipping tool. how does one do a screen capture? At Circuit City a technician located the tool on the demonstration computer. I wonder whether this is a feature of versions beyond Home Premium.

error:
THE SNIPPING TOOL IS NOT WORKING ON YOUR COMPUTER RIGHT NOW. RESTART YOUR COMPUTER, AND THEN TRY AGAIN. IF THE PROBLEM PERSISTS, CONTACT YOUR SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR.
I've been running Vista Ultimate for about a year now, and installed SP1 this week.
Restarting doesn't fix, I've also tried adding/removing the TABLET PC OPTIONAL COMPONENTS in the Windows Features On/Off control panel. This doesn't help. I even went to the extreme of uninstalling SP1 to no avail.
I also notice that I get the same error as above with Sticky Notes:

And Windows Journal too!

The ONLY function in the Tablet PC that works is Tablet PC Input Panel. Well it runs, but neither of the TOOLS or HELP pull down menus work.
I've seen others with the same Snipping Tool error while searching google, but never found a fix. For some people they had to reinstal the whole OS, but even then the errors came back after a while.
i m beginning to think there is no snipping tool for vista basic that i have in the toshiba.
View 9 Replies View RelatedReading the latest Computer Shopper, one of the tips was using the Vista snipping tool. The article says it is in the accessories folder on the start menu. For the life of me, I can not see it. How do I make it show up?
For Vista users you can just type "Snipping Tool" in the search bar in the windows menu. The first time you run it it will ask if you want to add it to your quick launch bar. I selected yes keeping in mind it is always easier to remove something from it than to add to it.
I have been searching for a way to get my Snipping tool back in my vistax64 system. It started with the common errors saying there is a problem and to restart and so on. I installed a Wacom Bamboo tablet on a Vista x86 laptop and a x64 Desktop both SP2. The laptop has had no issues and the x64 desktop ran the snipper fine for months afterwords but eventually lost the tool's functionality. So do not blame the Wacom in my case. I say this because I have read elsewhere it was a suspect cause.
After reading about some folks doing an Office 2007 Office diagnostics from the Outlook Help menu I tried it and it worked but there is a different behaivor. I have dual displays and before it went bad it would open up in one display but now it opens the selection area across both displays. That's OK with me, I just wanted to report.
I had my Snipping tool disappear from start/programs list AND short cut from quick links. An index search tool could not find it either. The popular solution of enabling from the 'add/remove programs windows function' in control panel did not help. Everyone and there brother told me this would solve my problem. I still could not locate the SnippingTool.exe file. I went to c:/windows/systems32/ and found SnippingTool.exe in the system32 folder and right click to create a desktop icon shortcut. bing...back in action. I still have no idea why my shortcuts and programs list from start menu would have disappeared, but at least if this happens again, I'll know what to do.
View 0 Replies View RelatedI don't know what happened here, but my shortcut that points to the snipping tool turned into one of those generic icons - and it says that it can't find C:WindowsSystem32SnippingTool.exe. Sure enough, a check of System32 shows it's not there. I didn't go in there. so I have no idea what happened here. It's not in the recycle bin either, so it didn't get accidentally deleted, at least not recently. So, is it as simple as grabbing a copy of SnippingTool.exe from another installation and pasting it into System32? Any risk in this (aside from it not working if there were some dependencies that are also gone?) If that doesn't work does sfc restore this?
View 5 Replies View RelatedThe Snipping Tool in Vista has decided it will not forward my snips to be emailed. Everything else about it works, but when I press the email icon it does not respond. This is a new development. I have used the tool for a year now, without problems. I have tried the add and removal tick in the tablet box, still no joy. I use this tool all of the time
