Snipping Tool Fixed Via Office Diagnostics

I have been searching for a way to get my Snipping tool back in my vistax64 system. It started with the common errors saying there is a problem and to restart and so on.

I installed a Wacom Bamboo tablet on a Vista x86 laptop and a x64 Desktop both SP2.

The laptop has had no issues and the x64 desktop ran the snipper fine for months afterwords but eventually lost the tool's functionality. So do not blame the Wacom in my case. I say this because I have read elsewhere it was a suspect cause.

After reading about some folks doing an Office 2007 Office diagnostics from the Outlook Help menu I tried it and it worked but there is a different behaivor.

I have dual displays and before it went bad it would open up in one display but now it opens the selection area across both displays. That's OK with me, I just wanted to report.

ummmmm, I thought that the Snipping Tool is not available on Vista Home Premium. How did you get it in the first place?

I think maybe you thought wrong.

The laptop came from HP with Vista HP on it and the snipping tool was there as shipped.
I built my desktop and purchased an OEM Vista 64x HP and it was there.

I just checked the Vista website and you're RIGHT, the Snipping Tool is apparently available with Home Premium. I have Vista Home Premium though, and don't have it! And when I bought my laptop a year ago, it apparently wasn't available with Home Premium at that time. So I apologize --- and now I have to figure out how to get the Snipping Tool on my system. . . :confused:
