| | Lost Snipping Tool A little while ago I Turned off the Tablet PC Optional Components not realising that the Snipping Tool was part of it. I am having problems turning it back on. Every time I try I get an error saying "An error has occurred. Not all of the features were successfully changed". There's no error number and the "Accessories/Tablet PC folder is empty. Can anyone please help as I need to use the Snipping Tool.

| | Re: Lost Snipping Tool Hello Dave-UK, I have looked in system32 and the SnippingTool.exe is not in there. Doing a search the only reference I can find is in windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft-windows-tabletpc-snippingtool_31bf3856ad364e35_6.0.6001.18000_none_cfb2f7da0cc08338 where there appears to be the program SnippingTool.exe. The folder winsxs also contains a folder containing a file SnippingTool.exe.mui. I am at a loss here if you can throw any light on this is would be appreciated.
