Note: If you are running into this problem in Snagit 13, see here.
Problem
The toolbar at the top of the Editor is missing all of the tools.


Solution
Cause 1: Ribbon Minimized (Snagit 9 - 12)
- Right click on where you would expect the tools to appear
- Uncheck the option to Minimize the Ribbon
Cause 2: Windows Themes
Some third-party Windows Themes can cause the Snagit Editor to not display the toolbar and Snagit Button. Reset your Windows Theme to a Windows default to fix the Snagit Editor.
Windows XP
Right-click the desktop and click Properties, then the Themes tab. Select a default Windows theme.
Windows Vista and later
Right-click the Desktop and click Personalize. Select a Windows default theme.
