Copy and paste not working

[Daniel]

Hi

I have Vista Ultimate, when I select files in a folder then copy and paste
them to a different folder, NOTHING happens.

When I drag and drop them it works, any ideas how I can fix this?

thanks

Daniel

Do you use right-click: copy or cut, and paste, or edit?

 

[Daniel]

Hi

both, Right click copy or cut, edit copy or cut,
neither work

cheers

Reboot and try again. Your clip board may be stuffed.

Rebooting did not fix it, the problem has been there since I formatted and
reinstalled Vista a couple of weeks ago.
