Weird thing happened. I have used the Vista snipping tool a number of times without any problems. Today I went to use it and it has dissapeared from the Accessories programs. Is there a way to download this program from Microsoft or other sites?
Thanks

Hello LouG!
It is likely still installed, but just not visible in your menu right now. Please review this information to see if this is your situation.

From the website: Here’s how you can reveal the Snipping Tool in Windows Vista, if it’s not yet enabled in your system: 1. Click on Vista Start button, and go to Control Panel. 2. Click on Programs link. 3. Click on Turn Windows features on or off link. If User Account Control pops up for confirmation, click on Continue button. 4. Scroll down the list of features in Windows Features dialog window, tick the check box for Tablet-PC Optional Components to enable and show the Snipping Tool in Vista. 5. Click OK when done.

Problem fixed, thank you.
A few days ago while reading an article in PC World magazine, they had a number of changes which can be made in Vista to speed up the system. One of them was to turn off the Tablet PC Opt components. No warning that the Snipping Tool would go away. Thanks again. |
