Cut, Copy, Paste stop working on right mouse click

[Guest]

My wife does internet support for a company a couple hours a day, she is
constantly cutting, pasting, and copying test within Internet Explorer web
sites and Eudora Mail. The cut/copy/paste feature on the right mouse click
works great for about 2 hours, and the just stops. We shut down IE, things
work ok for a while and then starts and stops.... very frustrating.

We've run Scan Disc, Defrag, clean disk, emptied the cache in IE, and
deleted history. My wife has been doing this for about 6 months, and only in
the last month have we had this problem. Can you help or point me in the
right direction?

Always disclose your OS and version when asking for help.
In fact it is quite likely that your symptom is more OS related
than IE related. E.g. IE gets fingered just because it happens
to be the most used application. It could just as easily be another
application which was used as much.

If NTx use Task Manager and activate all statistics (e.g. View, Columns...)
Watch in particular for increasing GDI Objects. You may have a leak.
