| | Snipping Tool not working I'm not sure when exactly the snipping tool that came with Vista quit working, but it did. Nothing happens when I click the Snipping Tool on the quick launch bar on the bottome left of my screen. I have window set for auto updates and have service release 1 installed with no problems. I have no idea why it would quite working, it's a very handy tool to have. I opened the Properties, and clicked on "Open File Location" and the file is there but clicking on it does no good, nothing happens. Any suggestions to get it working again or to reinstall it. I have an HP & Window Vista is on a partitioned drive and automatically installs when you first start it up. I tried to use the reinstall software but it Snipping Tool does not show up on the list. Following the instruction they want you to put in your CD, which of course I don't have. I there another way to find the snipping tool and reinstall it. I am assuming it some how got corructed or something (just guessing here)] Any help would be much appreciated. Cheers Sandy W |

Control panel- programs and features- left hand pane in classic view. Use this to uninstall the feature, reboot and then reinstall it. The problem is I don't remember which Feature the snipping tool is part of? If the diagnostic startup doesn't find the problem we'll have to look this up. Please post back. |

| Vista Home Premium 32bit SP1 | Re: Snipping Tool not working The snipping tool used to work for me, but today when I clicked its icon I was told I have the wrong version for my version of Windows (I have Vista Home Premium 32bit, OEM version I guess as it was pre-installed on the computer): ![]() I'm not sure when it stopped working. I know my Aiptek graphics tablet broke my HP scanning software and I had to install a patch for that - could this be something else affected by the tablet? |
