Snipping Tool on WinVista and Win7 opens in a 'ready to snip' state. Currently on Windows 8 on my PC, when I open Snipping Tool I have to manually press 'new snip' before the program enters it's 'ready to snip' state. Can Anyone help?
Working with 32bit Windows 8 Pro. Taking the snippingtool.exe from a 64bit Win7 c:\windows\system32 obviously gave me the error message that the program couldn't run on my current OS/processor.
Taking the snippingtool.exe from a 32bit WinVista c:\windows\system32, taking ownership of the Win8 file and renaming it, and copying the WinVista file in it's place did not work. The program does not open when double-clicked, even when I try running it as an administrator and running the troubleshoot compatibility wizard on it as WinXP, WinVista or Win7.
Having to press 'new snip' after opening the Snipping Tool is completely redundant, because if I didn't want to make a new snip, why would I have opened the Snipping Tool? I need a way to fix this so that Snipping Tool acts the way it did in WinVista and Win7 on Win8.
