Clipboard forgets Contents

[FGarvin]

I have a User who is using the clipboard function (Copy/Paste) where she
needs to continually use the same information over and over. She copies the
information once and the clipboard should retain that information until she
copies something else. Well, for some reason, the clipboard is forgetting the
data after a few minutes (it is not a consistent time) without copying
anything else. I can find no reason for this to happen. Any Ideas?

There is probably some other application that makes use of the clipboard. If
you launch clipbrd.exe and keep its frame partly visible then you can see
when exactly the "disappearing act" happens. Make sure to click
"Window/Clipboard".

Some of the older versions of Microsoft Works Suites can cause this -
when you start Word it clears the clipboard.

ClipX is a tiny clipboard history manager. It is
sweet, it is free, use it. Use the system tray
icon to restore your old clipboards. Use a hotkey
to paste them directly inside your favorite editor.
