    Registry File fix won't work for me.

    The only "solution" (workaround) for me: Logging off and on again ....

    Only facing that issue with Vista Ultimate, on Windows 7 it works fine ...

    thanks alot for that... creating and running that .reg file worked for me

    but maybe not everyone knows how to do that, so:

    • Right-click a Folder in your computer, and go to New > Text Document, then name it "Snippingtoolfix.reg" (with "Hide extensions for known file types" disabled in Folder Options)
    • Copy and past the following block of text, then save it, close it, then double-click it to run it - Click yes to any Notifications:

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AppID{7F429620-16D1-471E-A81A-114992148034}]

    @="wisptis"

    "RunAs"="Interactive User"
