Copy and Paste doesn't work in Vista

The copy and paste function does not seem to work in any application (Word,
Notepad or browser). It doesn't matter if I use right click on the mouse,
pull down menu or Ctrl C + Ctrl V, the only result I get when I go to paste
my text is * (asterisk). This is a new laptop with Vista installed. Is the
clipboard disabled or something?

Gee thanks !
OK lets try in Word

Type something. Select the text. In the Edit menu select Copy.

Then go View menu/Toolbars/Clipboard.

If you test snip is not there you clipboard is not working.

Do a restore or repair run.

Ok, so what exactly do I need to do to fix this? I am having the same
problem, My copy and paste won't work in any program. Everytime I either hit
control+V or right click+paste, it just prints a *.

Hi ALex,
This is Thomas again, It appear to be not working when you copy&Paste from
any web brower included pictures from that web, normally when I right click
on some pictures that I would like to save that picture and when I do right
click it will pop up the list of function for me to do,like save picture as
or go to my picture or go to back ground some like that (including copy and
paste the website). All of this function is not working at all. But like
ringht now I am writting this message and I am able to copy and pasted right
below here I don't have any problems copy and paste at all .
