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?

Import this key back into the registry, log off and back on and snipping tool will be working again!

  • Snipping Tool stopping working after installing Office 2013 Pro (32 bit) on Win 7 Pro 64bit - help?

    Have been looking at many forums to fix this:
    ran SFC - no errors
    rebooted multiple times
    all Windows Updates are current
    don't want to disable antivirus, as some have suggested
    Uploaded a registry fix, which several have suggested - no soap
    Note:
    all other features of this PC work great - zero issues.
    the issue starting right after installing Office 2013 Pro - 32bit.  It runs fine.
    "Paint" runs fine.  "Print Screen" works fine - image goes to clipboard, and I can paste anywhere.
    get the standard message everyone posts in forums: 
    "The Snipping Tool is not working on your computer right now. Restart your computer, and then try again. If the problem persists, contact your system administrator."
    Have tried other free third-party tools, and they are cumbersome, and I love the MS Snipping Tool.
    Advice?  Tips?
    Thanks,

  • Win 7 Ult 64 bit (Snipping Tool)

    The snipping tool does not work. It worked fine before Windows released updates, then it stopped. It fails every time I try to launch it. I had to purchase a secondary program to do the work Windows was
    supposed to do.
    The program returns an error message stating the program cannot be ran at this time, and if the problem continues to contact the network administrator.
    What is up with this and why has this part of Windows failed?

    Hi,
    From your description, it might be other software conflicts.
    Please perform an Clean Boot to see if there are other third-party software conflicts:

    Alternative, since you have mentioned that it worked fine before. An easier way to resolve is run system restore to roll back to a previous time when everything worked fine.

  • 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:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135
    Note: Ensure to restart the computer to normal mode once troubleshooting is completed.

  • 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?

    Import this key back into the registry, log off and back on and snipping tool will be working again!

  • Problem with HP Photosmart Premium - HP Message Center

    I purchased the HP Photosmart Premium (C410a) approximately 2 weeks ago, and am having issues with HP Message Center. Everything else on the printer is working perfectly.
    During the first week, I would get messages from the HP Message Center if the ink was low or if the printer was out of paper. However, I have just realised that for the last week I am no longer receiving these messages.
    When I opened up the HP Message Center, the log showed that there had been no messages created for the past week. When I deleted the message log, my printer disappeared from the left hand side in Message Center, and the icons at the top (i.e. Network Configuration and Maintain Printer) can no longer be selected as they are greyed out.
    About the same time the HP Message Center stopped providing messages, I ran the HP Printer Software Update 2.6 (which was offered through Apple Software Update). I don’t know if this was the cause of the issue.
    I have since uninstalled and reinstalled the software using both the CD and the version from the HP Website but have had no luck in fixing this. Perhaps the Software Update 2.6 made a change that is not being reversed by the uninstall, but I am just guessing.
    As I mentioned everything else with the printer is working perfectly. Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated.

    You can disable the Snipping Tool by creating the below registry setting
    (save as a .REG file)
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\TabletPC]
    "DisableSnippingTool"=dword:00000001

  • 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/
