When I first needed to take a screenshot in Windows Vista, I came across The Snipping Tool. It is very handy, and makes taking snapshots about as easy it as it could be.

Then I decided to check out what services were running by default on my machine and turn off unnecessary ones. One that I excised was “Tablet-PC Optional Components” since, well, I don’t have a Tablet-PC.

Thereafter, needed to take another screenshot. Well let’s go find The Snipping Tool. It’s missing?!? Turns out that it gets added by the… “Tablet-PC Optional Components”? I mean, why would you want a handy tool to take screenshots on a normal laptop? Printscreen not good enough for you? Anyway, if this happens to you, here’s how you can turn it back on.
