>For what it's worth, I stopped using SnagIt a while back, for two reasons. #1, I didn't care for the increasingly bloated interface, and #2, the Windows 7 snipping tool gave me most of what I needed for screen captures. Yes, there's functionality in SnagIt that doesn't exist in the Win 7 snipping tool, but the snipping tool has worked fine for me and I don't run into these issues.
Try Jing... I'm very happy with it. Snipping screenshots and taking movies.
