PC Boots to Blinking Cursor
This is more of a note for myself than anything... If I put it here, I will have an easier time finding what I did if/when I run across this problem again. Had to reboot a working PC.

Interesting Problem: Snipping tool is not working
I love the Vista snipping tool! I use it probably, every other day. But today I needed it and got this error: The Snipping Tool is not working on your computer right now.
