I have Windows 7 Ultimate and Office 2010 Professional. I tried various solutions online without success: * Reboot * Repair Office 2010 (no, I didn't uninstall and reinstall) * SFC /SCANNOW (no issues found) * The 'Remove, then add Tablet PC Components' in Control Panel Programs and Features/Turn On Windows Features * Close any and all Browsers (no success) Then it occurred to me that OneNote has a drawing feature. I suspected this was related to Tablet PC Inking Components, since my search showed people also had problems with Windows Journal. I also had problems with Windows Journal, indicating the Inking Components problem. In OneNote I went to the drawing ribbon and attempted to draw when a popup declared I didn't have Tablet PC features installed (even though I checked that); and offered to install it (Yes!). Oddly, it asked for the DVD for FrontPage 2003, which I also have installed. Who would have guessed, but that was my solution. I hope this helps someone.

To get it, you'd need to upgrade Vista to another version -but that's not really worth it, so go for Jing (free) or SnagIt (pay) instead. Snipping Tool is part of a Windows feature called "Tablet PC Optional Components". Provided your operating system has the feature, maybe all you need to do is enable it. To learn how to do this, see <a href="http://desktoppub.about.com/od/screencaptures/ig/Snipping-Tool/Snipping-Tool.--0K.htm" rel="nofollow"> this page</a>.
