Snipping Tool background dims the screen

The cutting tool opens with a dark gray background, which dims the screen completely.  I don't see what I want to snip. If I "blindly snip", I get a black rectangle.  I have Vista Business with Service Pack 2.  The options do not seem to help.  I searched the web and Microsoft, and I can't find any reference to this problem.

What happens if you do a right click on the tool and set the properties / Advanced "run as Administrator"?  Again you should not use that, but it may be a workaround.

You might be able to do something with this information, for example, uninstall and reinstall the tool to uncheck and recheck the "Tablet PC optional components ", see what you think?

Install or enable the cutting tool in Windows Vista

If you copy the folder System32 SnippingTool.exe and place in your user folder and run from there it works?

  • How can you print a Snipping Tool without pasting the first?

    Is it possible to print directly from the Snipping Tool whitout duty paste the capture or save it and open in another program?

    Hello

    Click on the "?" on the tool cutting aid. To print a Snip it will be implemented
    Paint or another program. The advantage of using the tool captures is that you
    don't have to print the entire screen.

    Start - type in the search box-> find Snipping Tool at the top of the list and double-click it.

  • Delete snipping tool buttons on the taskbar - Ribbon box

    I deleted the program cutting tool and the stupid buttons appear still straddling him minimize fullscreen and close buttons.  How can I get rid of the screen capture, capture of the region and capture window buttons.  The displayed icons was not available as an option to choose from the menu options for the tool, so I deleted the program and that they don't always go away.  (Yes, I rebooted the computer)

    I don't know what your talking about when you say that the taskbar - Ribbon area (Snipping tool does not have these features). Malware?

    If you really want to get rid of the cutting tool you must enable disable group policy rule.

    (Group policy is not available in Win7Home)

    1. Start, type gpedit.mscand press enter to open the local Group Policy Editor.

    2. navigate to Computer - Configuration>Administrative Templates ->Windows - components>Tablet PC ->Accessories-> double click cannot capture tool run .

    3. Select enabled, click OK.

    (Above: change the 'no' to yes)

    After completing the above, restart.

  • How can set the background of the screen

    I was going through all the thread related to this issue in this form, but could not be a good solution. I want to set the background color of the screen (main screen) and add fields on it. I found the solution for background coloring, but not fields not displayed after staining.

  • How to change the background on the screen of picture of account?

    In PC settings, there is a way to change the image of account, but there is no option to change the background that appears when you are on the screen to login to your account. Is it possible to use a picture as a background on the password screen?

    Hi Squebler,

    The background of the login screen depends on the start screen for the account. You cannot have a custom image on the login screen background.

    Instead, you can change the start screen by pressing Windows key + C and click on settings in the bar of charms. Click on personalization in charms bar, you will get different options to change the splash screen.

    Let us know the status of the issue. If you need help, please after return. We will be happy to help you.

  • Was a change made? : before the jpeg photo showed up at the upper-left corner of my screen, with a white background for the screen. The image now appears in the center of the screen, and the rest of the screen is completely black.

    By the way, when I put the url in Safari, it's the same as before, namely the image appears in the upper left corner, and the bottom of the screen/monitor full is white.

    You can try it with this URL to jpeg:
    http://www.antiquegamblingchips.com/Crest/bison.jpg

    Yes, it is a new feature in Firefox 11, which was designed to improve the readability of images. You can install the https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/old-default-image-style/, which restores the change if you don't like it.

  • Keep the PC sleeping positions, but dim the screen instead? (Like the Xbox 360)

    I have my Xbox 360 console and my Windows 7 computer attached to my Philips monitor.

    Whenever my computer goes to sleep after inactivity, the screen goes of course to sleep
    which translates as my Xbox 360 restarting and going weird, until the monitor wakes up.
    I know that I can prevent my computer from falling asleep, but I don't know how healthy it is for the PC.
    A screen saver would work for this?
    In addition, what would happen (and how long would it take) if I forced my pc to stay awake forever?
    Like, what's the worst that can happen?
    Thank you.

    Unless you have a few problems of heat - it probably won't affect the machine simply use a screen saver.  There are a lot of machines out there who have been in years--perhaps decades.

  • ~1/2 background"of the screen is unresponsive to the pen

    If the bottom of my screen does not respond to my pen, but it is to the touch. I recalibrated entries times touchscreen and stylus, but nothing seems to work. I moved the taskbar on top, and when I take notes with OneNote, when I get down about where would be the taskbar and the straight draw down, it actually starts going perfectly horizontal to the right. I have all the problems of drawing by touch at the bottom of the screen, it really seems to be a matter of stylus. I also JUST replace the battery for the pen yesterday. When the taskbar are low, my pen will recognize not all apps that are pinned there, and I can't hit the Windows button (start?) with her either. As I said, I can with my hand. Is it possible to fix this? Thanks for the help!

    Hello

    Sounds like the hardware, the stylus or the screen so check with the support for people.

    I hope this helps.

  • I don't see and 'Tools' tab on the screen?

    I just started using logic, and I looked at many video tutorials.

    In all the videos, I noticed that there is an 'Instrument' tab that allows you to choose from all kinds of drum machines and synthesizers, but I don't have this option.

    Screenshot of when I open Logic Pro X

    Screenshot of the video tutorial

    Thank you for your help

    Two things...

    (1) when you create a track of Instrument UNCHECK the option Open library (box red...).,..., and then select void Channel Strip in the drop-down list (see blue arrow in the screenshot below)

    2) go to logic preferences and turn on ALL the advanced tools...

  • No way to Dim the brightness of the display on the iMac to 2014

    I bought an iMac 27 inch nine in August 2014. Model no. A1419. It has been manufactured in 2013. As far as I can remember, there has never been the brightness slider in the display preferences and unction keys have never dimmed the screen. Initially, I ignored the problem but 2015 intense brightness became a real problem so I tried everything I could think of to correct it. Advice of the seller's customer support and reseller Apple has not managed to get a solution. More and more, it seems like a hardware problem or something in the Boot ROM. I am now on OSX El Capitan, which actually has no difference.

    Any suggestions please?

    I use the software "Shady"... This allows me to control brightness for as low as possible... you can try it once and check if it works...
