Not really. Vista’s applications use an executable format that is not compatible with XP, so XP cannot run Vista’s programs. There are however other apps that do the same thing. Google for “xp snip screen” or “xp clip screen” or “xp capture screen part” . I’ m not familiar with all of SnippingTool’s functions, but PC Magazine’s WinPointer does a lot of it (that’s the first app of this sort that I heard of years ago).
