snipping tool not working with two side by side 2560x1440 monitors
The windows snipping tool is a great product but: It doesn't seem to work for me. I have two monitors set up side to side. Monitor 1 is on the right, monitor two is on the left (sort of backwards) Both monitors are set to the resolution of 2560x1440. When I start the snipping tool and click in monitor 1 it changes monitor 1's display to what is currently displayed on monitor 2. I can't seem to capture anything on monitor 1. The snipping tool worked with this same setup when I had lower resolution monitors. Anyone have any ideas as to what I am doing wrong or how I can get this to work?

Don't know. Maybe Lightscreen Portable (freeware) will work - it is functionally equivalent.

Windows 7 default scale is 96 DPI. There is no specific documentation indicating the limitation resolution of the snipping tool. However, it will encounter problem if resolution is too high.Niki Han TechNet Community Support
