Snipping Tool

I was just reading about the 'snipping tool' but I don't have it on my
computer. Where can I get it? I'm using Vista Beta2 5384. Thanks.

Re: Snipping Tool

Hello,

The snipping tool is located in the start menu, under all programs, then
accessories.

Or, just click start, and type snipping into the search box.

Re: Snipping Tool

I was able to install the tool by going to Control Panel | Programs |
Windows Features | Tablet PC Optional Components. But it still doesn't work.
I get a message that the snipping tool is not working right now and I need
to restart my computer or contact administrator. Neither does any good.
Anybody? Thanks!

Re: Snipping Tool

Available where Jimmy said and works fine. Why complicate matters.

Re: Snipping Tool

John, you obviously didn't read either post I wrote. Simple to do!

Re: Snipping Tool

While I read your posts, I assumed as Jimmy did, that you were looking in
the wrong place. Sorry, I missed you are on the latest version also. Also
you didn't say you were using a tabletPC so the second post
If you don't have the snippingtool.exe in your system32 folder, why don't
you see if you can copy it from the 5381 cd and make a shortcut? You may
have to do it in safe mode logged in as administrator.

Re: Snipping Tool

I'm not using a Tablet PC. I uninstalled all files for it in order to get
rid of things I didn't need. Reinstalled it and I have the Snipping Tool
that doesn't work. I suspect something else I uninstalled has to do with the
tool as well. Anyway the snipping tool doesn't work. I don't have an earlier
version of Vista. If anyone wants to post the 5381 version of the snipping
tool I'll take it. Thanks for the replies.

Re: Snipping Tool

Report the bug. The advice you are getting is likely from users not using
the Tablet PC edition.

Re: Snipping Tool

I'm using Vista Beta2 5384

Re: Snipping Tool

I should have said "using a Tablet PC." Setup detects it and configures
accordingly.
