Default Installing Vista "Snipping Tool"


I've been using The Zapgrab screen snipping tool for years, but that
program doesn't seem to work on my most recently aquired desktop running
Microsoft Vista (Home Basic version).

I've read numerous references saying that Microsoft has a screen
snipping tool for Vista, and several of them say it should show up under
All Programs/Accessories, but I can't find it, even using a search.

Is there a way of obtaining this Vista accessaory and installing it on
my computer?

Thanks guys,

Jeff

If you're talking about a screen capture utility, look at MWSnap. Great
features. Free.

Thanks, Blinky.

It seems to work fine under Vista. So well in fact that I sent the
Polish developer a small donation for making my life easier.

Maybe also because my Dad was born in Poland in 1900.

It's excellent; I think I've contributed, as well.

Enjoy.

Oh, right! Now I remember that from an earlier link.

My best buddy is partially Polish. And I love their sausages.
