ok just started using xp, previously win2k
can't copy/paste from ie screens to whatever, setting up outlook express,
etc
this is some setting in xp? i hope it is
i can highlight and right click or edit allows 'copy' but no paste after
that??
frustrated new user
 
ok, just rebooted and problem fixed, darn, thought this reboot thing was a
thing of the past, the best way to fix
ms problems :-(
 
thanks for the reply
since it got fixed with the reboot won't have anything to report but will
file this for future reference and let you know any future results

This has to do with some application that's having a lock over the Windows
Clipboard. David Candy's application should determine the Process that's
causing the problem.

Download GetOpenClipboardWindow.zip from here:
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/temp/GetOpenClipboardWindow.zip

Unzip and run the tool. Post back what it reports. For best results, run
this utility during the time you encounter the Copy<=>Paste problem.
