Automatic screenshot to file using Snipping Tool?

Is it possible to use the Snipping Tool to automatically save a screenshot to file on regular intervals?  Are there command line parameters that can be used to launch the executable that will take a screenshot and save it to a file?  If so, I believe
I can schedule it in Task Manager to run every 60 seconds.
If there is a better (nearly free) tool out there to accomplish this, please let me know.  I have a Win7 desktop system that displays multiple webcam images.  I would like to capture that screenshot and, ultimately, email that file through Outlook.
Thanks!

Hi
You can start the snipping tool from a command line ( snippingtool ) but beyond this, I don't see any commands that could actually operate the program to capture and save the capture.
There are some freeware command line screen capture programs, but I have never tried any of these.
Use your favorite search engine to locate these.
Hope this helps.
Thank You for using Windows 7

  • Use snipping tool, try to send as attachments creates error

    I am a desktop tech and I have seen other posts re: this issue but nothing has worked - While using snipping tool and use send as attachment to recipient, error in Outlook "messaging interface has returned an unknown error.  If problem persists start
    Outlook again".  We run Office 2007 and Vista Enterprise.  Tried Outlook diagnostics, and 'tablet pc optional components' is enabled to no avail.  Any thoughts?

    Hi,
    Can you save the attachment without sending as attachment first?
    Can you send a website as an attechment?
    We need to clarify if this is a snipping tool issue or Outlook issue.
    At this point, you may try to start Outlook in Windows clean boot mode to check if it helps.
    Refer to the steps given in the link below to start computer inclean boot:

  • Snipping tool for pdf files

    Although I can easily use snipping tool for word documents I cannot find the way to use snipping tool for pdf files because pdf files appear in a full screen and the taskbar does not exist -  as well as the snipping tool which I have already pinned
    in taskbar. How do I reveal it?

    Hi,
    You can try to use Windows key + PrnScrn keys to capture the screen.
    And the images will be saved under c:\[user]\Pictures\Screenshots automatically.

  • Packaging an AIR application in a .EXE file using ADT

         Hi All,
    I have to package a .AIR file in  .exe file with ADT.
    Is it possible setting a default installation path in exe file using ADT tool?

  • Could not generate template spMeta/spExtended XML file using saml2meta

    Hi all,
    I am trying to generate the spMeta data file using the tool "saml2meta" utility and recieved errors. Please help if you know any thing about this problem. Thanks very much.
    Software: Sun AM version=7 2005Q4 and Sun Web server
    The Keystore shows:

    The error is: Unable to find certificate by cert alias "saml2-sign". I think the tool tries to retrieve the sign private key and failed. Any help would greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. - David -

  • Automatic bookmark backup: file size decreased

    FF version always most recent.
    For several months, file size of automatic backup .json files used to be about 1.930 kb on all machines that are connected to 1 sync account. I never deleted more than a dozen of short term bookmarks. Since last monday, file size of all of them decreased to about 700 kb.
    Does that indicate loss or damage?
    If so, how to check and repair?

    Note that compressed JSON backup have a .jsonlz4 file extension to distinguish them from uncompressed backups that have the .json file extension.
    You can still create a normal uncompressed JSON backup manually in the Bookmarks Manager (Library) as the compressions is only used for automated backups.

  • Windows Server 2012 Snipping Tool Not Working

    I have installed snipping tool on our server. When testing it under the admin account everything works fine.
    But when users login and use the snipping tool > Email > Send. The email shows up as blank. It does not show up with the common red X but just shows nothing at all
    I have scoured the internet for hours looking for a fix but have yet to find anything. I have changed the registry settings like this link below
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/akashb/archive/2012/12/08/images-sent-using-snipping-tool-snippingtool-exe-shows-up-as-red-x-in-outlook-2010.aspx
    I have allowed outlook to accept all pictures etc. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Desktop Features.
    What I think is the problem from looking trough my phone is the email says "This message has no content" or "image0001.png" when it should say
    cid:[email protected]
    If anyone knows a fix for this please let me know. Thanks

    I gave everyone full control to snipping tool, still did not work. I logged in as user and ran snipping tool as administrator, still did not work.
    The snip is not saved to a certain folder. I am trying to send it via email (without sending it as an attachment) which is the same as copy and pasting the picture.
    If I Copy + Paste I get the correct
    cid:[email protected],
    but if i choose to email only (again not sending as attachment) it has no content at all.
    I checked the settings for snipping tool and the box is checked to  "always copy snips to the clipboard" which in essence should make it work.

  • Snipping Tool Failure

    My System is Windows 7 Ultimate, 64-bit Operating System with Windows Office 2013. I have followed the suggestions listed to have the Snipping Tool functional to no avail. I did all that was under LFA72's description. Plus I installed a new user and the
    Tool worked until I started Outlook. As Outlook was initializing I suspect it uses Internet Explorer. The other two programs I initiated were Word and Excel and then Outlook. I checked the Snipping Tool while Outlook was initiating and received the message:
    "The
    Snipping Tool is not working right now. Restart your computer, and then try again. If the problem persists, contact your system administrator.” I am the computer administrator and have run out of things to try. What conditions trigger the message?

  • Message Center -- Kills Snipping Tool

    Just wanted to report that I was trying to grab some screen captures to document some work I've been doing using Vista's Snipping Tool -- actually in the process of dragging around the desired region -- when a message popped up (the one about 20% off accessories -- which, actually, I had used ). Immediately as this message appeared, the snipping tool closed and when I tried to reopen it, I get the "The Snipping Tool is not working on your computer right now..." message.
    The discount I received from that offer was worth one minor annoyance, but I do hope you can be a little more selective in the next version about when you pop up that window. Maybe wait for >10sec of user inactivity or something?

  • Acrobat 9 Pro Extended: How to use Windows 7 Snipping Tool to Paste into PDF

    Acrobat 9 Pro Extended on Windows 7.
    I frequently use the Windows built-in Snipping Tool to copy parts of pages and paste them into other applications.
    Works great.
    I can't find a way to let Acrobat allow me to Paste.
    I create the snip like I always do.
    Then navigage to Acrobat. But the Edit/Paste menu item is grayed out.
    I tried File/Create PDF/From Blank File. Placed my insert point into the box.
    Still no Edit/Paste was available.
    Any ideas on what I need to do to allow Edit/Paste from the Windows 7 Snipping Tool?
    Thanks for any help or advice!

    You can paste the contents of the clipboard (if an image) onto a PDF page as a stamp. In Acrobat it is called the "Paste Clipboard Image as Stamp Tool" and is found in the stamp menu. You can then move and resize if wanted. To make it part of the regular page contents, you can flatten the stamps, perhaps with this free JavaScript-based tool: http://www.uvsar.com/projects/acrobat/flattener/

  • Snip tool for OneNote app when not using OneNote via desktop

    When using the OneNote app (not the OneNote program via the desktop) from my Asus Transformer Book t100, I can't use the snip tool. Or even find it. I can use it if I open OneNote from my desktop, rather than as an app from the Start display. Which kind
    of defeats the purpose of using the OneNote app. 
    Help please! I want to screenshot a pdf document (which opens via the adobe pdf app) but I can only take snips of stuff open in the desktop app.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    The snip tool is not included in OneNote app for Windows in the Windows store. But we can capture your screen with the
    Share Charm. With Windows 8.1, anytime you see something on your screen, you can capture it and send it to OneNote by using the Windows Share Charm.
    To do this, in a Windows Store app, use the Share Charm and choose Screenshot from the dropdown menu. When you’re using the desktop, it will always create a screenshot for you. OneNote will show you a preview of the screenshot before you
    send it to OneNote.
    For more information, please refer:

  • When i select a pdf file for download in a webpage instead of automatically downloading the file and opening it using adobe acrobat I get a new blank window in the browser and it says done in the bottom left corner

    when I select a pdf file within a webpage and click to download instead of getting the "download" window and the file automatically opening after download using adobe reader I get a blank webpage (in the same tab) and in the bottom left corner it says"done". No file is downloaded and if I click "back" I just return to the webpage containing the link.

    Aha!  The properties for the plugin file nppdf32.dll for Adobe Reader indicate the file is for Adobe Acrobat.  This misidentification is then used by SeaMonkey as a label in the helper application list. 
    Adobe Reader 11.0.3.37:  nppdf32.dll has version 11.0.3.37.  This is the version in SeaMonkey's plugins folder. 
    Adobe Acrobat 7.0.8.218:  nppdf32.dll has version 7.0.9.50. 
    As for having both Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat on the same PC, this generally works providing Reader is installed AFTER Acrobat.  Reader is freeware, and I want to keep it current.  Acrobat is purchaseware, and I cannot afford to keep buying  upgrades or newer versions.

    Unless you've tried to install an older version of iTunes that message likely indicates a corrupt library file. See Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash...
