I have a problem in that I cannot copy and paste
anything. The problem has been intermittent but now is
practically all the time.
I usually reboot and I may be able to copy and paste a
couple of times before the function stops. Using mouse,
keyboard or toolbars makes no difference.

When I open the clipboard, the viewer is flashing and has
a message that cipboard viewer cannot show the
information in it's current format, try pasting into a
document. This doesn't make sense to me as how can I
paste into a document if there is nothing on the
clipboard to paste and the clipboard is not functioning?

Can anyone help please?

Thank you,
Jayne

Hi,

Your computer is infected with the MS Blast virus. this disables the use of
cut, copy and paste. Use the ms blast removal tool to remove the virus and
then download the latest patches from windows update.
