Hello everyone,
The 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, so would much appreciate someone's help, if you can spare a little time. Many thanks, Craigz

Have you made any changes to your system that could cause it to stop working?
Have you tried a system restore to a time before it started happening?
What error message are you getting? If there is no error message look in your error logs.
Have you changed ISP`s, email address or e-mail client?

Thanks for the reply Roy. No error message;no change of ISP;no change of system, (is it possible a registry clean could affect it ?). I went to system restore, but it had turned itself off and I had no point to restore to. I tried to install /reinstall via the Tablet Options, but again no luck. It is only the email part that is affected. Everything else works o.k. I can save and send , but sometimes the save option is not available on all screens. Craigz

You say that the save is not available on all screens, which ones.
Try sfc.
Try a repair install of vista.

Thanks for the reply John. I removed the virus protection program - still no luck. Thanks, anyway. Craigz

Thanks again. My default email is windows mail, with no other send and receive problems. Again, this failure to respond to the email icon when it is pressed must be an email problem specific to the Snipping Tool, but I am at a loss where to look to check or correct this. Craigz

Hello John,
Finally solved. I followed through your last suggestion by checking out the defaults on my windows mail. For future users, I did this by: Start>Default Programs>Set your default program. There is a list of programs. Check the windows mail (or whatever is your default email) and find if all the defaults are turned on. Mine had only two out of three, so I checked "all" and it worked.
My thanks to all who have helped me in this. I very much appreciate your time.
