![]() ![]() Attempt to run it and you should receive an error message about how it can only run on tablet PCs.Download Microsoft Experience Pack for Tablet PCs.Here is how to extract and run it on a regular PC. However, it will only install on a tablet PC and on nothing else. It is part of the Microsoft Experience Pack for Tablet PC package which also features the Royale theme. There is a backport of this tools called Snipping Tool, but it will only install if it thinks you are running on a Tablet PC. Microsoft’s new Snipping Tool in Windows Vista and higher makes it easier to take screenshots of pictures than having to do Print Screen. Update (): Download links for isxunpack.exe and i6comp.exe added. ![]() In reading it I too got misled to think the Snipping Tool would work in XP Professional based on prior Microsoft information. I hope MS will realize the original request of the customer in this thread is very valid. One would think MS would have improved screen copy paste technology for the benefit & efficiency of Windows users. Print Screen Capture hales from the Windows 3 era & is a mainstream tool today. If they want customers to work with and embrace up & coming technology concepts like Onenote or digital ink, customers should be able to use a single sourced screen snipping tool that works in XP Tablet, XP Pro & Vista and is quicker than a tool that stems from 1988. I found the Tablet / Vista Snipping tool searching for a work around to Onenotes weak clip & bitmap conversion limitations, But sadly I see XP Pro does not really have 'Ubiqitous Tablet Edition capability' in a tool as simple as a subscreen capture snip tool. The above led me to stray away from exploring note taking & inking in Windows with Onenote on Tablets & PC's, Though I do try again from time to time. Try dragging a VIsta pen (in mouse mode) across the edge of a window & you'll see mouse movement withĪ Pen lacks context sensitivity (this is confirmed with both HP & Panasonic Vista Tablets.) * Vista has Pen tablet driver problems, and is cumbersone & inconsistent with normal Mouse or Digitizer inking. * Onenote has limitations in pasting the clip board.Īs no "Paste Special" functionality exists it lacks an abilty to migrate between Text & bitmap form * Onenote has a snipping tool, but it wont snip itself!!! (that's what got me on the snipping tool hunt) * Printscreen & Paintbrush are slow & produce different effects than the Snipping or Onenote clip tool. It's clear to me and perhaps people trying to "Take Notes", use Onenote or capture sreen content to bitmaps for documenting, that XP Pro looses to Tablet PC Edition and Onenote misses it's target audience. ![]() There are work around here but they won't produce the same efficient result of the MS Snipping Tool. That assumed you had the same peripherals delivering equivalent capability on an XP Pro PC.īottom line for me & the person who started this thread was that we wanted the Win XP Tablet / Vista Snipping Tool in XP Pro. The idea was that pretty much anything you could do on a Tablet you were supposed to be able to do in full blown XP Proffessional. Windows XP Tablet PC came out & XP Proffessional SP2 & subsequent service packs for it had release notes saying XP Pro was to have all the functionality of XP Tablet version.
