You have no more of the cutting tool...

I had trouble with Vista a few months ago and microsoft fixed it for me I have to reinstall vista. However, I think that they me demoted to Vista Basic, when I had Vista Premium. First of all, it got rid of a lot of programs that I need. How would return those? Second, how would upgrade to Premium without paying for it (again!)?

You get what you had originally, HomePremium, by contacting the manufacturer of the computer.

Vista Media recovery obtaining and/or using the Vista recovery on your computer Partition to factory settings .

There is no Vista free download legal available.

Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

They will tell you how to do this.

Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  • I have a problem with the capture tool works not properly on Windows 8.

    Can I change to automatically let me start to select without clicking on New?

    Original title: snipping tool - work when I start it up, the new button has already been clicked but not at home

    Clarification:

    At work, my computer is Windows 7. At home, it is Windows 8. At work when I start the capture tool I have not hit any other button in order to start the selection of the area I want to Snip. The tool is already gray and my mouse is ready to score my selection.

    At home when I start the capture tool, I get the menu, click on 'New' and THEN I can start my selection - one additional click. It annoys me (I know it's small, but I cut a lot) so I was hoping there was a setting I could change how it starts.

    I know that's not exactly a new topic, but I found that I had the same problem.  I found that the cause of this problem actually comes from OneNote believe it or not.  If you have recently updated your Office Suite and now have the ability of OneNote, all you have to do is to open OneNote and configure.  Once you get it configured you can then select the options that you just press the Windows key + S to be able to cut out a screen shot and you can also set it to copy directly to the Clipboard, then there is no need to tap the new button more in the cutting tool.  Hope this makes sense and helps anyone having the same problems I had.

    None of the above has solved the problem of the use of the cutting tool when you have a PDF file open or an open image.  Can anyone give me a suggestion to update?  Thanks fitz

    Key to victory over the key PrintScreen puts a photo full screen in pictures/screenshots.   Use your cutting tool on this screenshot with windows PhotoViewer?

    Or just install an alternative pdf viewer as the free tracker software Xchange pdf viewer that happens to have a cutting tool built into it.

  • How one is resized an 'image' with the cutting tool?

    I would like to resize an 'image' of a part of one of my accounts on the Internet I did using the cutting tool.  I was able to do this with Windows 7 and have been unable to find a way to do it or to find a solution through research on the Internet.  Maybe the problem is the program that opens the image in full screen only.  Needless to say that Windows 8 is all new to me - a few weeks of usage and I know I have a LOT to learn!  And... I hope I picked the right area for this help!  Your help is greatly appreciated.  Thank you!

    Hello

    I'm not clear - you try to do this in Windows 7 or Windows 8?

    Whatever it is, the basic procedure is:

    1. open the cutting tool.

    2. create the new chiseled image.

    3. Select Save as.

    4. give it a name and select the image type from the menu drop down.

    (PNG is generally preferable for screenshots)

    5. save it to the desired location on your hard drive.

    6. open in an app - integrated image editing paint will do.

    7. open the image that you saved earlier.

    8. click on resize (in painting its on the home tab, in the upper part).

    9 select whether you want to resize a percentage or a non-specific pixels & enter the settings.

    10. Select maintain proportions if you want to keep the ratio width even height.

    11. click on OK.

    If you use Windows 8 and when you double click on an image it goes to an application full screen then it looks like this file type can be associated with the application of the user interface modern Photos. Please see:

  • The cutting tool does not scroll

    The cutting tool is a very nice feature, but only as long as you can get the entire area you want to cut at the same time on the screen.  I'm not aware of any way to scroll a page of text that is longer than the screen.  Are there tricks to do this?

    Hi Jaander,

    Snipping Tool can only be used as a capture of screen, or snip, of any object you see on your screen.  Thus, the cutting tool cannot scroll. You may need to scroll down the screen and then use the tool.

  • The cutting tool does not work after windows updates.

    I read answers to similar questions about the failure of the cutting tool.  I use the tool cutting regularly and I think it's a fantastic tool in Windows. I have Vista Ultimate and all my windows updates have managed: none were not installed correctly, and I did not install new programs or hardware.  It seems that Microsoft knows the snipping tool does not - why can't they simply provide an update patch to correct the problem, rather than make us do all the work.  I don't have to go through hoops of restorations etc to get something it seems work was broken by updates.  I'm about to go to a Mac.

    It worked for me! Thank you!

  • The cutting tool not working anymore... :-(__It was my favorite thing...

    For some reason my Snipping Tool no longer works. I clicked and 10 or 20 seconds, and I get the error: the cutting tool does not work on your computer right now. Restart your computer, and then try again. If the problem persists, contact your system administrator.

    I did a scan of the disc, and the Tablet PC optional components meet. (Enabled).

    This is a dell computer that came preloaded, so I don't think that I can recreate the cutting tool of a disc. ALSO... mysteriously, my tool of Windows Live Mail has decided to not SEND email at the same time.

    I have chased google and hope you can help. It's me MISSING.

    Suggestions:

    1. If it is possible: to do a system restore. Choose the date free snipping worked as your restore point.

    Start button > Search box, type system restore > press the Enter key > uac prompt > click on choose a different restore point > next > select dates as your restore point, until the click > next > finish
    To sit and wait. The machine restarts when it's done.

    2. start > Search box, type system32 (that's a Word) > Enter > system32-box right, superior search window type SnippingTool.exe (that's a word too).
    Don't you see that SnippingTool.exe appears?
    If so, click it or PIN to the Start Menu or the desktop (create shortcut).

  • The cutting tool will work with Windows XP?

    I love the tool cutting for Windows Vista. Microsoft makes a similar tool for WinXP, or is the tool that is compatible with this OS?

    Hi NewYogie,

    Microsoft does not have a cutting tool for XP, but there are a number of tools out there like Snagit. If you do a search for XP the cutting tool , you are sure to find something useful.

  • Increase the quality of the screenshots in the cutting tool?

    I mean, it is, can capture shears which are a quality jpeg image (higher resolution?) higher.  I make videos using a tinsmith shear quality is poor.

    Thank you!

    You can save a snip as an HTML, PNG, GIF, or JPEG file. After a capture, you can save it by clicking on the capture button Save in the annotation window. Save the capture to a file on your computer by clicking the file menu and then click Save as and choose the file you want.
