I have two computers with this problem. I am running Windows XP Pro with
Office XP Pro (Office 2002), Pentium 4 chip or higher, 1 gig(+) RAM. I have
a Microsoft Trackball Explorer on one computer, and a Microsoft wireless
optical mouse 5000.
The problem with screen shots taking the place of my cut or copy and paste
just started occurring.
Most of the times that I try to copy and paste something I get a screen
capture instead of the text that I want to either cut or copy and paste. I
have tried all methods of copying and pasting including:
Clipboard: always starts with screen capture
Shortcuts: Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V
Menu: Edit-Copy and Edit-Paste
Mouse right click: copy and paste
Almost everytime I get a screen capture instead of what I want to copy.
Additionally, when I open the Windows XP clipbook viewer it shows a screen
shot instead of the "text."
This problem is independent of the Office applications and other programs
too. Many times the computer is capturing screens even when I am not trying
to copy something. When I open an Office program and the clipboard viewer I
see it fill up with screen shots. When I clear the clipboard it automatically
fills up again.
I believe this to be a problem associated with Windows XP as the problem
happens in notepad and IE.
I have scanned the computer with AdAware, Spybot, and Symantec Antivirus and
the problem persists.
Does anybody have the same problem or a solution other than a clean
re-install?
