As I noted in my first post, I too thought it was the mouse, which is a wireless, but I have a touch screen and get the same problem using my finger or a stylus, both are independent of the mouse or its drivers. Thanks D

Actually I have checked with SFC. No issues found. I have also determined that his issue is not restricted to Snip tool, but affects any use of a 'selection tool' in any app ow window. Whether selecting text, cropping in edit apps, highlighting, etc. The box drops off before completing, before...

When I first started using this great little tool, it worked perfectly. :pI don't know why it has changed as things change and update daily, so I could not identify a time frame for the problem, and it seems intermittent. The problem is when I start to drag the frame, it immediately crops...

Thanks... my luck of course. Not sure what a 'custom' install is. Why does the rollback not fix what it corrupted? Is there any way to fix my Vista to get all my lost drivers back? Not sure what the '2 monitors' thing is about. My monitor is integral to the machine. The only external...

OK, here is Part 2 Doug

You guys never replied to this last message. I am still where I was back on Vista, but now none of my video editors (I do this for a living!!) are working! I have not made a nickel since this whole thing started and have lost multiple customers! Adobe Premiere, Cyberlink Power Director, Ulead...

I could actually install it on one of my external drives and have 2 OSs to work with, no? Any reason why I cannot install it on an external drive? The way you mention is not actually good for me as my machine is a bit of a bastard. Its and HP IQ-775 TouchSmart, which is kind of an all-in-one...

I will check them out before I begin. I will keep you posted on the progress via my laptop Thanks for the help! Doug

I have installed 6 Win 7 OSs this week with no problems on any. 3 clean, 2 XP and one Vista upgrade. All went smoothly. (It would figure that my own machine would give me trouble! - Murphy's Law!) A clean install is not going to happen! I would lose tens of thousands in apps, terrabytes of data...

I checked the link ant it is titled Solution to Windows 7 Installation Hang at 62% or 72% during Upgrade from Vista Posted by Bapun on November 3, 2009 The resolution offered is a 'corrupt' file and tells me I have to roll back to Vista and start again!!! I thought the last 22 years of Windows...

Hi Yes I ran the advisor, moved, deleted destroyed everything I was told to and it reported it was ready to go. All utilities, AV and bot monitors were shut down and disabled prior to starting install. It has never rolled back and is 1/2" from 100% complete on the progress bar. I will...

I have been upgrading my Vista HP SP2 for the past 72 hours. It hung for many hours at different points but this is by far the worst. It is on the last segment, transferring files and programs and has been stuck on 72% for the past 48 hours! HDD LED is still flashing ( about 1 blink every 20...
