Snipping Tool will not save

[Guest KeithjUK]

I've read another thread with the same problem of "no save" but the solution there doesn't apply here.

 

Until last week, I could use the snipping tool and save the results. I use this a lot - it's a brilliant feature.

Now, when I click on "Save As", nothing happens. If I click "Close" I am asked if I want to save the snip first. I click "Yes", the application closes.

 

What I can do is to click "Copy" in snipping tool, and then open Paint Shop Pro and paste into that. That is an awfully long way round, and I'd prefer to save direct, as I have been doing since I started using the Beta of Win 7 early this year.

 

Less important: if I ask snipping tool to "send" the snip, it insists on opening MS Outlook, which I don't use. Is there a way to persuade it to use Thunderbird, my mail client?
