Copy Paste Doesn't Work in Windows
This personally happened to me in my office. I never used to shut down my machine and most of the works are based on copy and paste in any IT companies, i used to heavily use copy paste thing in windows while in work .At the end of a day suddenly copy paste thing didn’t work for me. I copied things but no paste option was highlighted. That meant my whole work stopped. And to overcome this i searched for the windows Clipboard viewer.which i found in windows System32 folder named “clipbrd”. I just ran the clipbrd from the run option in Start menu of the Windows ( XP ). then i deleted the clipboard from Edit menu. Bingo, Everything was fine after that. My work resumed.

Thanks for this post. This is an annoying problem, and I used to reboot my machine to address this. Your technique is much better

Whoa, thanks, I thought I had discovered you can’t copy and paste 404 pages of text at once but I guess it actually saturated the copy and paste function ’cause I couldn’t do it anymore at all.
Thanks for the insight, my life would end if I were left with no copy and paste!

Whoa, this was driving me nuts! i even considered reinstalling/repairing the file but I wasn’t sure if it’d help or screw me over even more..
I had found clipbrd.exe and I kept getting the message “clipbook viewer cannot display the informatiaon in its current format”.
This is a really simple solution. Thank you!

My Copy and Paste utility became unusable for the following reasons. If anything about this posting is similar to what you have on your system, then I may have the solution for you. I was running Microsoft Office Professional ‘97 as my WORD and spreadsheet programs. However, later on I installed a newer version of WORD that came with my PC that was on a disc called Microsoft Works Suite 2004. I also downloaded and installed Mozilla Firefox as an alternate browser. This is when all my problems started. I fixed the Copy and Paste problem by uninstalling all of MS Works Suite, then I installed a completely new and dedicated version of Microsoft Office 2002, then I uninstalled Mozilla Firefox, and I refreshed Internet Explorer back to default settings. I also needed to update my McAfee anti-virus but you may not have to do that depending on what program you use. Everything works great now and my computer even runs faster. No more worries. I never needed to mess with my Registry. I didn’t have to end Processes. I haven’t had to run Spyware programs either. It was all in the programs in had downloaded and installed that caused the problem.
