Clipboard

[Guest]

Hello all.
From time to time the clipboard stop responding in some machines in my
company.
I highlight some text, image of files, right click over them and choose copy
or simply I press CTRL+C. When I am in the destination, I right click and
chose paste or simply press CTRL+V and nothing happens.

The only solution is rebooting the machine.
thanks

I find this happens quite a bit. It's possible there is a background
utility or service that is interfering with clipboard operation.

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.

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.
